Seated Liberty Quarters are a type of U.S. coin featuring a design by Christian Gobrecht, first minted in 1838. The 1862 San Francisco Seated Liberty Quarter is particularly notable, as it was struck during a time when coin production fluctuated due to the Civil War. This quarter is made of 90% silver and 10% copper, with a diameter of 24.26 mm. Collectors often seek this coin for its historical significance and distinct design, which depicts Lady Liberty seated and holding a shield and a liberty cap. The San Francisco mintmark (S) indicates its place of production, adding to its desirability among numismatists.
