Barber quarters were issued from 1892 to 1916. They were designed by Charles Barber and struck in Philadelphia, Denver, New Orleans, and San Francisco.
1896-S, 1901-S and 1913-S are the rarest dates of Barber Quarters. A 1901-S Barber Quarter demands several thousand dollars in even the lowest grade and is by far the rarest coin in the Barber Quarter series.
Arguably the rarest regular issue silver coin of the 20th century. Just 72,664 were minted and very few were saved. Collectors at that time collected by date without regard for mintmark so the high mintage 1901 and 1901-O were added to most collections. This is an attractive example with pleasing surfaces. The detail is solid for the grade with a full LIBERTY.
CAC. Incredible quality with amazingly fresh and bright original surfaces that are essentially perfect. If you're building a memorable date or type set, this is the coin for you!
Extremely flashy with a vibrant white core framed by a band of russet and turquoise toning at the perimeter. A very small proof mintage of 545. Super eye appeal!
A modest 712,000 minted during the final year of operation at the New Orleans Mint. This is a well struck example with nearly mark-free surfaces. It is fully lustrous with a bright silver center surrounded by rings of beautiful iridescent toning.
