1905-O Barber Quarter AG
The 1905-O Barber quarter represents a fascinating moment in United States coinage, emerging from the historic New Orleans Mint. Struck in 90 percent silver with a precious metal content of 0.17875 troy ounces, this twenty-five cent piece is part of the celebrated series designed by Charles Barber. The total mintage for this specific year and mint combination reached 1,230,000 pieces. On the obverse side, the coin displays a profile of Liberty adorned with a laurel wreath and a Phrygian cap, a classic symbol of freedom. The reverse showcases a heraldic eagle with wings spread wide, protecting a shield on its chest. In its beak, the eagle holds a decorative banner, while its talons grasp an olive branch and a bundle of arrows, representing the dual themes of peace and readiness.
