The Seated Liberty series is one of the earlier coin collections that consisted of every coin matching in means of its design. Minted from 1836-1891, the Seated Liberty coin series goes down in history as one of the longest standing coin collections, after the modern Washington Quarter series. For a time, there was a misunderstanding of a law that coins needed to be minted for at least 25 years before being replaced. It wouldn't be until the end of the Barber coin series that this misunderstanding would be redirected. The Philadelphia Mint was established in 1792, by the original Founding Fathers, and as flourished in coin production ever since. Before the Denver Mint, the Philadelphia Mint was the lead coin producer in all of the US, outshining any of her sister mint branches.
With a mintage of over 9 million, the 1857 Seated Liberty Quarter is easy to find in most grades. Considered to be in very good condition, the 1857 Seated Liberty Quarter will contain heavy wear with compromised coin details. 1857 is an important date in US history because James Buchanan becomes president, the first elevator is installed in New York, and the Panic of 1857 broke out. The Seated Liberty Quarter series is perfect for experienced collectors, since it carries low minted coins with high premiums. Collectors also enjoy this series as an investment, due to its 90% silver content.
