The Liberty Seated Quarter is a type of silver quarter produced by the United States Mint from 1838 to 1891. The specific coin from 1859 minted in New Orleans is part of a series known for its design featuring Lady Liberty seated on a rock, with the motto "E Pluribus Unum" on a banner above her. The New Orleans Mint, identified by the "O" mint mark, struck a limited number of these coins, making them valuable to collectors due to their historical significance and relative scarcity in higher grades. Collectible examples from this year often exhibit variations in strike quality and condition, affecting their market value.
