The listing, 1916-D Barber or Liberty Head Quarter - Denver Colorado Mint has ended.

The coin you see photographed here is the exact coin the winner will receive encased in a 2x2 inch holder for protection.


The Barber Quarter, as adopted in 1892, shows a bust of Liberty similar in style to the Morgan Dollar but facing right. She is wearing a Liberty cap with a laurel wreath, and a ribbon ties her hair in the back of her neck. IN GOD WE TRUST appears above her head, and the date appears below. Six stars on the left and seven stars on the right represent the original thirteen colonies. The reverse imitates the Great Seal of the United States and depicts an eagle with outstretched wings, holding an olive branch with thirteen leaves in its right claw and a sheaf of 13 arrows in its left. There is a ribbon with the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM being held in the eagle's beak and thirteen stars are in the field. The designers initial (B) is at the base of Liberty's neck.

The first Barber Quarters were minted in January 1892. The coins did not stack well, a problem with the relief of the coin. The Mint fixed this problem making a variety for 1892. Type 1 has the eagle's wing covering the letter "E" in UNITED. Type 2 has the eagle's wing not covering the "E". Type 3 (Post 1900) had the wing going beyond the "E" in UNITED. The Mint Mark can be found under the eagle on the Reverse. They were minted in Philadelphia (1892-1916), San Fransico (1892-1915), New Orleans (1892-1909), and Denver (1906-1916). The Barber Quarters circulated into the 1950's.

I have never and will never "Enhance" my photographs to change the appearance of the coin(s) I sell. I do not use "Photo-shop" or any other program. I do not use a "Scanner" ...I do not use "Stock" photos, the coin you see (Unless otherwise noted) is the EXACT coin you will get.
