1895-O Barber Quarter — About Good (AG)
A historic 1895-O Barber Quarter, struck at the New Orleans Mint and featuring the classic Liberty Head design by Charles E. Barber. The obverse shows Liberty wearing a laurel wreath with the inscription “LIBERTY,” while the reverse displays a heraldic eagle surrounded by “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “QUARTER DOLLAR.”
This example is graded About Good (AG), showing heavy circulation wear with considerable loss of detail while the date and major design elements remain identifiable. Struck in 90% silver, the 1895-O is an interesting New Orleans issue and a desirable addition to a collection of classic U.S. silver coinage.
