The Liberty Seated Quarter is a classic U.S. coin designed by engraver Christian Gobrecht, first minted in 1838 and continuing until 1891. The 1862 Philadelphia Mint issue features the iconic seated figure of Liberty, which symbolizes freedom and democracy, with the reverse displaying an ornate eagle. This quarter, struck in 90% silver, is notable among collectors for its historical context during the Civil War era. The 1862 date indicates it was produced in a year of significant national conflict, contributing to its appeal and value in numismatic circles.
