About this product

Product Information

The 1908-S Barber quarter is a unique coin in the history of currency minted in the U.S. Its original value of 25 cents belies the conflict behind this coin, which was the subject of much criticism during its relatively short life in mint. This coin was approved by the U.S. Mint director in 1892 along with a dime, and half dollar featuring engravings by the same designer, Charles E. Barber. Coin collectors remain divided as to whether these coins, which all feature a profile bust of Lady Liberty on their obverse, were of good design or not. Regardless of what you think of these coins, they’ve aged quite well in terms of value. One facet that influences the Barber quarter’s value in the modern era is the price of silver; these coins may have been worth a mere 25 cents when they were originally minted, but these days, they are typically worth at least five dollars. That’s because all of the Barber coinage, including the 1908-S quarter, are made of a high percentage of silver alloyed with a little bit of copper. Enjoy Lady Liberty’s beautiful visage – or critique Charles E. Barber’s art and design skills – by bringing home a silver 1908-S Barber quarter today. These coins can have value outside of their intrinsic worth, and the silver 1908-S Barber quarter is a particularly popular year and mint mark among collectors. If you have a proof or a graded, uncirculated 1908-S Barber quarter in excellent condition, you’ve got something special on your hands. Even if you don’t have a proof or an uncirculated coin, the silver content alone – and their unique historical significance – makes them worth much more than 25 cents to collectors of all kinds. Whether your silver 1908-S Barber quarter coin is worth money or not, you’ll have fun getting involved in the lively world of coin collecting and enjoy having a piece of US currency history in your coin collection too. The 1908-S Barber quarter is one of a relative few of these silver coins struck at the San Francisco mint in the year 1908. The S mint mark, located on the coin’s reverse underneath the eagle emblem, indicates its West Coast provenance. On the Barber quarter, the eagle on the reverse and the Liberty head bust on the obverse are both ringed by text and 13 six-pointed stars, which represent the original colonies of the United States. The shining silver Lady Liberty bust design features on the obverse of all the Barber coins, though only the quarters and the half dollars have the eagle design on the reverse. Like other coinage, the Barber quarter is smaller than the half dollar, but other than size, the only difference between the two coins’ design is in the dollar value denomination listed on the reverse.
