The Barber Quarter, once known as the Liberty Head Quarter, was minted from 1892 to 1916. Designed by Charles E. Barber, it is one of the most popular series among collectors. Barbers, highly collectible in all grades from Good to MS65, are one of the 19th century series that can be completed in nearly all grades from Good through MS63. The Barber series (Halves, Quarters & Dimes) is such a popular area of numismatics that prices for circulated specimens could rise or fall by 10% and not alter the amount of coins trading in the marketplace. Many of the semi-key dates will trade at over current price levels. There are three very tough dates in this series: the 1896 S, 1901 S, and the 1913 S. These are just as tough to locate in low-grade as they are in high-grade and typically command premiums.
