Liberty Seated Quarters are a series of coins minted by the United States from 1838 to 1891, featuring a design by engraver Christian Gobrecht. The 1852 New Orleans issue is particularly notable as it represents coinage produced at the New Orleans Mint, which had a distinct "O" mintmark. This quarter features a depiction of Liberty seated on a rock, and its significance to collectors stems from its historical context, rarity, and the design's aesthetic appeal. The 25-cent denomination is pivotal in American numismatics, making these quarters sought after by enthusiasts and collectors alike.
