1894-S Barber Quarter Good
The 1894-S Barber Quarter represents a classic era of United States coinage, carrying a design by Charles Barber. Struck in 90% silver at the San Francisco Mint, this coin contains 0.17875 troy ounces of precious metal. This particular specimen survives in a heavily circulated state, graded as Good, which means the details are worn down and the outer rim may show some wear from its time in active commerce. On the obverse side, Lady Liberty is depicted in profile, wearing a traditional Phrygian cap adorned with a laurel wreath. The year 1894 is stamped below her portrait, with the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" visible above. The reverse side reveals a heraldic eagle with its wings spread wide. A protective shield rests upon the eagle's chest, while its beak holds a decorative banner. In its talons, the eagle grasps both an olive branch and a cluster of arrows, symbolizing peace and readiness. The reverse also bears the denomination of one quarter dollar.
