The History of the Barber Quarter
(1892-1916)
The first Barber Quarter was issued in 1892. The obverse depicted the profile bust of Liberty wearing a cap and laurel wreath. The reverse design was an eagle clutching 13 arrows in its right claw and an olive branch in its left. These quarter dollar pieces were also called Liberty Head Quarters. Since, however, the head of Liberty has appeared on five different types of U.S. quarters over the years, the term Barber Quarter is officially used to describe this type of 1892-1916.

The History of the Barber Quarter
(1892-1916)
The Barber Quarter was designed by Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber. His same obverse design was also used for the dime and half dollars (1892-1916). His initial 'B' appears on the obverse at the truncation of Liberty's neck
The Barber Quarter was composed of 90% Silver and 10% Copper. Since pure silver is very soft, copper was added to all circulating silver coins to harden them and prevent excessive wear. Barber Quarters had a weight of 6.25 grams, a diameter of 24.3mm, a reeded edge. The edges of most silver coins were reeded to make evident any attempt to shave silver off the coin.
O (New Orleans): The 'O' mint mark is located on the reverse below the eagle's tail feathers.
D (Denver): The 'D' mint mark is located on the reverse below the eagle's tail feathers.
S (San Francisco): The 'S' mint mark is located on the reverse below the eagle's tail feathers.
Note: Barber Quarters struck in Philadelphia bear no mint mark.
