1896-S Barber Quarter NGC MS65*

Barber Quarter “Star”

 Along with the rare 1901-S and 1913-S issues, the 1896-S quarter is unquestionably one of the top three rarities in the Barber quarter series. Just 188,039 pieces were struck. As usual, die clashing is visible within Liberty’s ear, a peculiar attribute of genuine 1896-S quarters and a quick way to help verify authenticity. The vibrantly lustrous surfaces display lovely border toning in shades of electric-blue, violet, and russet-brown. Meanwhile, ivory-gold shades at the centers resonate with silver luster. In hand, this gem is lighter, as well as more lustrous and eye-appealing than seen in our images. Including this star-designated example, the NGC population is only 7 with 2 higher.

1901-S Barber Quarter PCGS MS66

Don’t Throw Away This “Key” (Date)

David Lawrence calls the 1901-S the “King of all Barber Quarters” because of its low mintage and low survival rate. Only 72,664 Barber quarters were struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1901, a remarkably low mintage for any 20th century coin. There were relatively few coin collectors on the West Coast in 1901. Interest in collecting mintmarked issues was still in its infancy in the rest of the country, so most of the small mintage slipped into circulation at the time of production. Few examples were saved for numismatic purposes.  As a result, most 1901-S quarters appear in lower circulated grades today. Mint State coins are quite elusive. The PCGS population is only 4 with 5 higher. This one is frosty, white and gorgeous!
