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.

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.
