Liberty Seated Quarters are a type of coin issued by the United States Mint from 1838 to 1891. The 1844 Philadelphia minted version features a seated Liberty design, which depicts Lady Liberty holding a shield in one hand and a liberty pole in the other. These coins are made of 90% silver and 10% copper, contributing to their value among collectors. The 1844 quarter is especially sought after due to its historical significance and relative scarcity in higher grades.
