Seated Liberty Quarters were minted in the United States from 1838 to 1891, featuring an iconic design by Christian Gobrecht that depicts Liberty seated on a rock, holding a shield and a liberty cap. The 1840 Seated Liberty Quarter is particularly notable for its early date in the series and the limited mintage from that year. Collectors often seek these coins for their historical significance, artistic design, and the varying mint marks that add to their rarity and value within the numismatic community.
