Seated Liberty Quarters were minted in the United States from 1838 to 1891 and are characterized by their depiction of Lady Liberty seated on a rock, holding a pole topped with a liberty cap. The 1853 Seated Liberty Quarter features the significant addition of arrows at the date, indicating a reduction in silver content due to a change in coinage laws. Collectors value these quarters for their historical significance, artistic design, and varying mintages, with certain years and conditions fetching higher premiums in the market. The 1853 quarter is particularly noted for its unique characteristics within the Seated Liberty series.
