Each $1 face value lot includes 4 Barber Quarters minted from 1892 to 1916, all composed of 90% silver and graded in Extra Fine (XF) condition. These coins exhibit only light wear, with crisp detail across Liberty's hair, the wreath, and the eagle's wings. XF Barber Quarters are sought after by collectors for their strong visual appeal and historical value without the premium of uncirculated examples.
Historical Insight:
The Barber Quarter series, introduced during a period of rapid American industrial growth, circulated widely through the turn of the 20th century. Extra Fine examples offer a snapshot of the coin's original artistry, having survived over 100 years with minimal wear. These coins provide a beautiful combination of history, collectibility, and silver content—perfect for collectors looking to enhance their sets with higher-grade vintage coinage.
