$1 FV 90% Silver Barber Quarters - VF

This $1 face value lot contains 4 Barber Quarters, each struck between 1892 and 1916 and composed of 90% silver. Graded Very Fine (VF), these coins retain strong design detail with light to moderate wear, especially in Liberty's hair, the wreath, and the eagle's feathers. With most major features sharply defined, these VF examples are ideal for collectors who value both historical character and visible artistry in their vintage coinage.

Historical Insight:

The Barber Quarter was designed by Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber and issued through a critical period in American history—from post-Civil War reconstruction to the edge of modernity in World War I. Quarters in VF condition represent coins that saw regular but respectful circulation. They preserve the craftsmanship of the original design while carrying the stories of the countless hands they passed through. With their blend of historical appeal, classic artistry, and silver content, these coins are an excellent addition to any serious collection or silver portfolio.
