1905-S Barber Quarter AG
The 1905 Barber Quarter, struck at the San Francisco Mint, represents a fascinating era of United States coinage. Crafted from 90 percent silver with a precious metal content of 0.17875 troy ounces, this coin carries the distinct 'S' mint mark. This particular specimen is in Almost Good condition, showing the heavy wear and honest circulation of a coin that actively passed through the hands of turn-of-the-century Americans. Designed by Charles Barber, the obverse of the quarter depicts Lady Liberty facing right, adorned with a laurel wreath and a Phrygian cap. Above her head, the national motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' is inscribed. The reverse displays a classic heraldic eagle with wings spread wide, a protective shield positioned at its chest, and a banner held in its beak. In its talons, the eagle grasps both an olive branch and a bundle of arrows, symbolizing peace and readiness.
