Intriguing History
In 1891, industrial America kept booming under Cleveland and Harrison, with the Sherman Silver Purchase Act of 1890 further swelling the nation's silver coinage even as labor unrest, from the 1886 Haymarket affair onward, exposed the strains of the era's rapid, often ruthless growth. This Seated Liberty quarter, in production for more than half a century, was struck during exactly this period.
