The Seated Liberty Quarter, designed by engraver Christian Gobrecht, was minted from 1838 to 1891. The 1872 issue, particularly from the Carson City Mint, is notable for its rarity and desirability among collectors. The Carson City mint mark (CC) signifies a limited production run, making these coins highly sought after due to their historical significance and unique minting location. The 25-cent denomination, commonly known as the quarter, features Lady Liberty seated and symbolizes the ideals of freedom and independence prevalent during that era.
