Click image to access Gerry Fortin Rare Coins Inventory
The Top 25 Liberty Seated Quarter Varieties were initially published in the Liberty Seated Collectors Club's Gobrecht Journal, Issue #111. Greg Johnson was the author and worked extensively with club colleagues toward the Top 25 Variety set formulation. Following are excerpts from Greg's article that provide the selection background and proper context.
The Liberty Seated quarter series has been referred to as an extreme series due to its many scarce and rare dates. Historically, the only thing rarer than the quarters has been collectors who pursue the set by die variety. Recent increases in the popularity and availability of the coins, due in part to dealer websites and internet based auctions, have spawned a small be dedicated group of collectors who specialize in Liberty Seated quarters by die variety. These collectors have realized that building this die variety set presents a unique numismatic opportunity for those with the patience and persistence to undertake the challenge.
Seated Quarter variety collectors are encourage to submit their Top 25 holdings via this open registry approach. The open registry accepts quarters whether TPG certified or in raw condition with the owner's grading and is structured for competitive display of Top 25 collections.
It is important that collectors carefully study their seated quarters and ensure proper variety attributions before submitting. The Liberty Seated Quarter Top 25 Varieties webpage provides sufficient attribution information via this link.
