1911 Barber Quarter Good/VG
The 1911 silver quarter offers a window into early twentieth-century American coinage, carrying a design created by Charles Barber. Struck in 90 percent silver, this twenty-five cent piece represents an era when precious metal circulated daily. The coin contains approximately 0.17875 troy ounces of pure silver, giving it a satisfying weight and historical presence. On the obverse, a classic profile of Lady Liberty faces right, adorned with a laurel wreath and a Phrygian cap. The motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" is inscribed above her head, with the date 1911 positioned at the bottom. This portrait presents a dignified, traditional representation of liberty that defined the nation's coinage during the pre-1933 era. The reverse displays a powerful heraldic eagle with wings spread wide, a shield protecting its chest. In its beak, the eagle holds a banner, while its talons grasp an olive branch and a bundle of arrows, symbolizing both peace and defense. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "QUARTER DOLLAR" frame this detailed patriotic scene.
