Barber Quarter

Brief Description

The reverse side features a heraldic eagle based on the Great Seal of the United States. The eagle holds an olive branch in its right claw and 13 arrows in its left, with 13 stars above its head and the words 'QUARTER DOLLAR' below.

Historical Significance

Designed by Charles E. Barber, this series was part of a major redesign of American silver coinage in the late 19th century. It replaced the Seated Liberty design and served as a primary circulation coin during the turn of the century and World War I.

Estimated Value

$5.00 - $15.00 (Varies significantly based on year, mint mark, and condition; current condition appears heavily worn/tarnished)

Care Instructions

Do not clean the coin, as chemical or abrasive cleaning can significantly reduce its collector value. Store in a PVC-free plastic holder or acid-free paper flip to prevent further corrosion or environmental damage.
