PCGS Graded Seated Liberty Quarters
The Seated Liberty Quarter was minted from 1938 to 1891. Compared to the earlier Draped Bust and Capped Bust quarter types, the Seated Liberty Quarter had an extraordinarily long run. On the surface, the design for the Seated Liberty quarter was consistent through its entire run of existence. The basic design featured a Seated Miss Liberty on the obverse, and an eagle on the reverse. But that basic design kept getting tweaked throughout this quarter’s 53-year run. Drapery was added, arrows were added and then subtracted, rays were added and then subtracted, a motto banner was added. This has resulted in eight different design phases of the Seated Liberty quarter.

During its run, the Seated Liberty quarter was struck at the Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco and Carson City mints. The four big rarities in the Seated Liberty quarter series are all Carson City issues. The 1870-CC, the 1871-CC and the 1873-CC with Arrows. But the Grand-daddy of the entire series is the 1873-CC NO ARROWS type, of which there are only 6 known to exist.
