The Seated Liberty Quarter, designed by Christian Gobrecht, was minted from 1838 to 1891. The 1844 Seated Liberty Quarter struck at the New Orleans Mint is particularly notable among collectors due to its lower mintage and distinctive "O" mintmark. This coin features a depiction of Liberty seated on a rock, holding a liberty pole and a shield, symbolizing freedom and protection. The 1844 issue is sought after for its historical significance and collectible value within the United States coinage series.
