Barber Quarters, minted from 1892 to 1916, are a series of U.S. coins designed by Charles E. Barber. The 1899 Barber Quarter features an obverse design of Liberty in a cap, symbolizing freedom, and an elaborate representation of the eagle on the reverse. The Philadelphia mint produced the highest quantity of these quarters, making them a significant part of American numismatic history. Collectors often seek lower mintage years or well-preserved specimens for their unique aesthetic and historical value.
