Struck in 90% silver at the Philadelphia Mint, the 1863 Liberty Seated quarter is prized for its age and numismatic prominence. But it is also a precious historical keepsake from the Civil War. The year of 1863 included the battles of Chancellorsville, Chickamauga, Vicksburg, and Gettysburg; and President Lincoln delivered his Emancipation Proclamation. The 1863 silver quarter will be a valued addition to your collection.
