The Seated Liberty Quarter, designed by Christian Gobrecht, was minted from 1838 to 1891. The 1850 Philadelphia strike is particularly significant among collectible coins due to its historical context and design. This quarter features Liberty seated on a rock, with the inscription "LIBERTY" on a shield in her left hand and a pole with a cap of freedom in her right. Collectors value the 1850 quarter for its aesthetic appeal and relatively low mintage compared to other years, influencing its desirability in numismatic circles.
