The Liberty Seated Quarter, minted from 1838 to 1891, features a design by engraver Christian Gobrecht. The 25 cent coin from the New Orleans mint, particularly from the year 1840, is notable for its scarcity and historical significance. It showcases the iconic image of Liberty seated, holding a shield and a liberty cap, with a reverse that displays an eagle. Due to its age and the limited mintage from the New Orleans facility, the 1840 Liberty Seated Quarter is highly sought after by collectors.
