1891-S Liberty Seated Quarter Good
The 1891-S Liberty Seated quarter represents the final year of a classic United States coinage era. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this twenty-five cent piece is composed of 90 percent silver, containing approximately 0.1788 troy ounces of the precious metal. Despite showing the honest wear of a coin graded in Good condition, the essential elements of its historic imagery remain visible to the curious observer. Designed by Christian Gobrecht, the obverse features Lady Liberty seated upon a rock. In her hands, she holds a staff topped with a liberty cap, while her other hand supports a shield adorned with the word liberty. The reverse displays a powerful eagle perched on an olive branch, clutching three arrows in its talons, with a shield positioned across its chest. This particular issue is distinguished by the S mint mark, indicating its origin from the West Coast minting facility.
