The Seated Liberty Quarter, minted from 1838 to 1891, features a design by engraver Christian Gobrecht, depicting Lady Liberty seated with her right hand resting on a shield and holding a liberty cap in her left. The 1856 Seated Liberty Quarter, particularly those produced in San Francisco (S-mint), is of notable interest among collectors due to its limited mintage and historical significance. Collectors value these coins for their artistic design, historical context, and variety in mintmarks, contributing to their desirability and potential value in the numismatic market.
