1888-S Liberty Seated Quarter AG
The 1888-S Liberty Seated quarter represents a classic era of United States coinage, minted during a time when silver was the backbone of daily commerce. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this piece contains 0.1808 troy ounces of silver with a purity of 0.900. Having circulated heavily, this coin is graded in Almost Good condition, showing the soft, smooth wear of a coin that spent years passing from hand to hand. The design, created by Christian Gobrecht, features Lady Liberty seated on a rock on the obverse. She holds a staff topped with a liberty cap in one hand, while her other hand rests on a shield decorated with the word Liberty. The year 1888 is clearly visible beneath her. On the reverse, an eagle perches on an olive branch while clutching three arrows, its chest protected by a shield. The San Francisco origin is marked by the distinctive S mint mark located below the eagle.
