1857 Seated Liberty Silver Quarter
Uncover a tangible piece of pre-Civil War American currency with this heavily circulated 1857 Seated Liberty Silver Quarter Dollar. Minted at the main Philadelphia facility during a decade of massive westward expansion and escalating regional tensions, this historic 90% silver coin survived decades of changing hands across a young United States. It features Christian Gobrecht's iconic design of Lady Liberty seated on a rock, holding a staff topped with a Liberty cap. At some point during its long journey, this specific specimen was modified or used as a jewelry component, leaving behind distinct splotches of ancient solder on both the obverse and reverse fields, along with visible rim flattening. Now a unique "cull" specimen, this coin offers budget-conscious collectors an affordable way to own an authentic piece of mid-19th-century numismatic history at Gold & Silver Assay.
