{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}The Barber Quarter series was issued by the United States Mint from 1892 through 1916 and has gained steady recognition among collectors. Interest in the series has grown as more collectors appreciate its historical design and the difficulty of completing a full set. Designed by Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber, the coin was produced at four US Mint locations during its lifespan, creating a collection that includes several scarce issues and challenging dates. The coin offered here is a 1916-D Barber Quarter from the final year of production, certified Mint State 62 by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS). Right now, the 1916-D Barber Quarter is available from BGASC.
Highlights:
Each of the 1916-D Barber Quarters listed here is graded Mint State 62. Coins in this condition usually display solid detail with moderate surface marks visible. Small contact marks may appear in groups across the coin, and it is not unusual to see a few larger marks in the open fields. Light hairlines can typically be seen without magnification on MS62 examples.
Obverse
The obverse of the 1916-D Barber Quarter displays a portrait of Liberty facing right. This design was created by Charles E. Barber and reflects the neoclassical style common in his coin designs. Liberty wears a Phrygian cap, a symbol of liberty, decorated with a laurel wreath that represents victory. A ribbon tied behind her head completes the classical portrait.
Reverse
On the reverse of the 1916-D Barber Quarter, the central design shows the heraldic eagle of the United States with its wings extended. The eagle carries a shield on its chest as a symbol of national strength. In its right talon, the eagle holds an olive branch, while its left talon holds a group of thirteen arrows, representing both peace and the readiness to defend the nation.
History
The 1916-D Barber Quarter is notable because it represents the final year of the Barber design used on US quarters. The broader Barber Coinage Series also included matching designs for the dime and half dollar. By 1916, the US Mint had begun introducing the new Standing Liberty Quarter design, which would replace the Barber Quarter moving forward.
