Barber Quarters (1892-1916)

Like other silver coins of this type, the quarter dollars minted from 1892 to 1916 were designed by Charles E. Barber. His initial B is found at the truncation of the neck of Liberty. There are two varieties of the 1892 reverse: (1) the eagle's wing covers only half of the E in UNITED; (2) the eagle's wing covers most of the E. Coins of the first variety reverse are somewhat scarcer than those of the second variety.
