coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ 25¢ (Twenty Five Cents, Quarter) \ Seated Liberty Quarters \ 1862
The Seated Liberty Quarter, first minted in 1838 and produced until 1891, features Lady Liberty seated on a rock, symbolizing freedom and independence. The 1862 Seated Liberty Quarter, issued during the American Civil War, is particularly notable for its historical context. These quarters are composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, and they exhibit various designs and mint marks that can affect their collectibility and value among numismatists. The 1862 variety, while not the rarest year in the series, remains sought after by collectors for both its silver content and its place in American history.
