Collectible coins, particularly U.S. quarters, encompass various types and historical periods. The 1838 quarter, part of the early quarters series, is significant as it marks the introduction of the Seated Liberty design, which remained in circulation until 1891. These early quarters are highly sought after by numismatists due to their low mintage, historical context, and the intricate artistry of their design. Collectors often focus on the coin's condition, rarity, and provenance when assessing value.
