Liberty Seated Coinage – Open Registry
Liberty Seated Quarters Basic Set, Business Strikes
Click image to access Gerry Fortin Rare Coins Inventory
The Liberty Seated Quarter open registry, as explained on the main registry page, is an opportunity to showcase both certified and uncertified circulated (and uncirculated) seated quarters. The purpose of the registry is simply for enjoyment and to promote the awareness of seated coinage. Though there is sure to be good natured competition, there are no awards, luncheons, or parades – just an opportunity to share the additions to your seated quarter set.
A set of Liberty Seated Quarters complete by date and mintmark, if not the most challenging such set in US numismatics, is most certainly on the short list of contenders. Those who have completed, or nearly completed, a Liberty Seated Quarter set in any grade merit the title “dedicated numismatist”. The basic set of 108 coins, which excludes most major varieties, has 79 issues with an estimated rarity of R4 or higher (less than 250 pieces known) in grades of XF/AU. No less than 15 different dates / mintmarks are estimated to have fewer than 30 pieces known in this grade range. Certainly, the pursuit of a seated quarter collection requires uncommon patience and persistence, but also provides uncommon opportunities for those who love the thrill of the hunt. Most important for those patient, persistent, and dedicated aficionados of the Liberty Seated Quarter is the understanding that whether you own five of these wonderful coins, or multiple sets, it is all about the collecting journey, not merely a destination. Enjoy the hunt!
