Seated Liberty Quarters were minted in the United States from 1838 to 1891, featuring a design by artist Christian Gobrecht. The 1849 Seated Liberty Quarter produced at the New Orleans Mint is particularly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and lower mintage. Collectors often seek coins in high grades, as the condition significantly affects both value and desirability in the market. The design showcases Lady Liberty seated on a rock, holding a shield and a cap, symbolizing freedom and liberty.
