1902 Barber Silver Quarter Dollar 90% Coin
1902 Barber Silver Quarter Dollar 90% Coin
This 1902 Barber Quarter is a classic example of early 20th-century American coinage, struck in 90% silver. Designed by Charles E. Barber, the obverse features a classic Liberty head wearing a Phrygian cap and a laurel wreath, while the reverse showcases a heraldic eagle based on the Great Seal of the United States. This circulated coin displays honest wear consistent with its age, with the date 1902 clearly visible on the obverse. No mint mark is present on the reverse below the eagle's tail, indicating this piece was produced at the Philadelphia Mint. As a vintage silver specimen, this quarter holds both historical significance and intrinsic metal value, making it a staple for collectors of the Barber series or those looking to add historic United States silver to their collection.
1902 Philadelphia Barber Silver Quarter Dollar 90% Fine
Condition: This coin exhibits significant circulation wear consistent with a Good to Very Good grading. The obverse shows a flat portrait of Liberty with the word LIBERTY in the headband mostly worn away and smoothed features on the cap and hair. The reverse displays a heavily worn heraldic eagle where the shield and feathers lack distinct definition, and the peripheral lettering remains mostly legible despite the smoothed surfaces. The coin is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. It was struck at the Philadelphia Mint (no mint mark) as a business strike for general circulation. Designed by Charles E. Barber, this series was minted from 1892 to 1916 and remains a staple of turn-of-the-century American numismatic history. No professional grading or proof status is indicated.
