The Liberty Seated Quarter, minted from 1838 to 1891, features an image of Lady Liberty seated on a rock, representing freedom and independence.

The San Francisco mint mark "S" on these coins signifies their production at that specific facility, often making them more sought after among collectors due to their lower mintage and distinctive characteristics. Collectors value these quarters not only for their numismatic appeal but also for their significance in American history.
