1908-S Barber Quarter Good
Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this 1908 Barber quarter represents a classic era of United States coinage. Crafted from 90 percent silver, the coin contains approximately 0.17875 troy ounces of precious metal. Despite showing honest wear consistent with its Good grade, the coin retains the essential elements of its historic imagery. The obverse, created by designer Charles Barber, showcases a left-facing portrait of Lady Liberty. She wears a traditional Phrygian cap adorned with a laurel wreath, a classic symbol of victory and freedom. The year 1908 is anchored at the bottom of the design, with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST visible along the upper rim. On the reverse, a heraldic eagle commands attention with its wings spread wide. The eagle bears a protective shield on its chest while holding a symbolic banner in its beak. In its talons, it clasps an olive branch alongside a cluster of arrows, representing the dual national themes of peace and readiness.
