The Liberty Seated Quarter, produced by the United States Mint from 1838 to 1891, features a design by engraver Christian Gobrecht. The 1861 issue is part of the series characterized by Liberty seated on a rock, holding a shield and a Liberty cap. This quarter is significant among collectors due to its historical context during the Civil War era and varying mintmarks that can indicate different minting locations. Collectability is influenced by factors such as condition, rarity, and demand, with uncirculated examples being particularly valuable.
