1877-S Liberty Seated Quarter Good
The year 1877 marked a significant moment for the San Francisco Mint, which produced nearly nine million silver quarters featuring the classic Liberty Seated motif. Struck in 90 percent silver, this quarter represents a long-running design era in American coinage, carrying a total of 0.1788 troy ounces of precious metal. On the obverse, Lady Liberty is depicted sitting on a rock, holding a staff topped with a liberty cap in one hand while her other hand rests on a shield. The reverse features an eagle perched upon a branch, clutching three arrows in its talons, with a shield emblazoned across its chest. Despite the wear that places this coin in Good condition, the enduring artistry of Christian Gobrecht remains visible in its overall form and historical silhouette. Legible inscriptions on this issue include the 1877 date beneath the seated figure, alongside the traditional national identifier, United States of America, and the quarter dollar denomination on the reverse.
