Description
This lot features an 1897-P Silver Barber Quarter from the Philadelphia Mint. A classic example of late 19th-century U.S. coinage, this coin is a great addition for collectors of Barber series coins and historic American silver.
Minted from 1892 to 1916, the Barber Quarter was designed by Charles E. Barber and features Liberty wearing a laurel wreath and cap on the obverse. Composed of 90% silver, these quarters were part of everyday commerce during their era and remain popular among collectors for their timeless design, history, and precious metal content.
