The Seated Liberty Quarter is a notable type of coin minted in the United States, featuring a design by engraver Christian Gobrecht. The 1872 San Francisco Mint issue is particularly interesting to collectors, as it is part of a series produced between 1838 and 1891. The coin features Liberty seated on a rock, holding a Liberty cap and a shield, symbolizing freedom and protection. Collectors seek this coin for its historical significance and the rarity of specific mint marks, with San Francisco coins often appealing due to their lower mintage figures compared to those produced in Philadelphia.
