1898-O Barber Quarter AG
Struck at the historic New Orleans Mint, this 1898 quarter dollar represents a classic era of American silver coinage. Composed of 90 percent silver with approximately 0.1788 troy ounces of precious metal, the coin is a tangible artifact from the final years of the nineteenth century. It carries an Almost Good grade, showing the honest wear of a coin that circulated widely in daily commerce. The coin features the artwork of Charles Barber. On the obverse, Lady Liberty is depicted facing right, wearing a laurel wreath and a Phrygian cap, with the date 1898 positioned at the bottom. The reverse displays a heraldic eagle with wings spread wide, protecting a shield on its chest. In its beak, the eagle holds a scroll, while its talons grasp both an olive branch and a bundle of arrows, representing the dual themes of peace and readiness.
