1870 Liberty Seated Quarters, Proof Values

Greysheet & Red Book® PRICE GUIDE

The Greysheet Catalog (GSID) of the Liberty Seated Quarters, Proof (1838–1891) series of Quarters in the U.S. Coins contains 3 distinct entries with CPG® values between $300.00 and $15,000.00.

Proof Liberty Seated quarters were struck throughout the duration of the series, which designed by Christian Gobrecht and spanned a period stretching from 1838 through 1891. While the Liberty Seated design was popular and was shared on most United States silver coins, several modifications were made to the motif.

The major sub-varieties in the Liberty Seated quarter series are:
  • Variety 1: No Motto Above Eagle (1838-1853)
  • Variety 2: Arrows at Date, Rays Around Eagle (1853)
  • Variety 3: Arrows at Date, No Rays (1854-1855)
  • Variety 1 resumed: with Weight Standard of Variety 2, 6.22 Grams (1856-1865)
  • Variety 4: Motto Above Eagle (1866-1873)
  • Variety 5: Arrows at Date (1873-1874)
  • Variety 4 resumed: with Weight Standard of Variety 5, 6.25 Grams (1875-1891)

    • Proof Liberty Seated quarters are scarce, though several issues are significantly challenging and expensive, most particularly the pre-1860s proofs. Cameo and deep cameo Liberty Seated proofs quarters are very desirable and usually command significant premiums over typical bid and retail prices.
