1876 25 Cents Silver Seated Liberty Centennial Quarter Fine

1876 Centennial Silver Quarter

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the first official World’s Fair in the United States was held in 1876 from May 10 through November 10 in Philadelphia. Visitors were treated to a host of new inventions, including sewing machines, typewriters, and Alexander Graham Bell’s first telephone. Other exhibits featured the right arm to the as-yet-unfinished Statue of Liberty, the first monorail system, and new foods like bananas, popcorn and Heinz ketchup. The turnout was nothing short of incredible – an estimated 10 million people attended. That’s about 20% of the entire nation’s population at that time – a time that’s still decades away from automobiles being a common mode of transportation!
