The Liberty Seated Quarter, produced from 1838 to 1891, features a depiction of Liberty seated on a rock, holding a shield and a cap. The 1859 issue is part of a series known for its distinctive design and is sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and relatively low mintage. The coin typically displays a unique blend of artistic elements associated with the era, including the word "LIBERTY" inscribed on the shield and the date prominently featured on the reverse. Collectors often seek out mint condition examples for their rarity and aesthetic appeal.
