The Liberty Seated Quarter was a type of coin minted by the United States from 1838 to 1891, featuring a design by engraver Christian Gobrecht. The 1857 Philadelphia Mint version is particularly notable, as it reflects the aesthetic style of the time, with Lady Liberty seated and holding a liberty pole in one hand and a shield in the other. These quarters are sought after by collectors, with their value determined by factors such as mintage, condition, and rarity. The 1857 issue typically has a moderate mintage compared to other years, making it a significant piece in the series.
