About US Barber Quarter
Featured Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. The Barber quarter was widely used but heavily worn in circulation. Finding high grade examples is challenging. The 1901-S Barber quarter is the key date with only 72,664 minted. Worth tens of thousands in circulated condition. The series is collected in all grades due to the scarcity of uncirculated specimens.
