Arg, I hate being poor. I only have two seated liberty quarters, and neither are even close to looking as nice as thoes. Both are around good condition. Damn me living in hicksville (aka, Boone Co., WV). Damn no-one wanting to hire me for a job. Alms for the poor, anyone? lol
Here is the only one I have. She spent about 40 years in my favorite aunt's old leather coin purse. Too bad about the hard ding on her obverse, but a really nice reverse.
I might be a little slow on the draw but I found this interesting- I never realized until I posted the Seated Quarter pics above that the eagle on the reverse of the Seated Twenty Cent (see my icon) is the mirror image of the Seated Quarters of the same era. The eagle is facing the other direction & even the arrows and branches are in opposite talons. I would assume it was to tell the difference between the two? Also note there's no shield on the twenty.

Here's a new one I got a couple months ago. PCGS MS64. It's VERY lusterous.
We are finite beings, limited in all our powers, and, hence, our conclusions are not only relative, but they should ever be held subject to correction. Positive assurance is unattainable. The dogmatist is the only one who claims to possess absolute certainty.
