Description
The 1909 Barber Quarter is a quarter produced at the Philadelphia Mint as part of the Barber Quarters 1892-1916 series. The U.S. Mint produced 9.3 million examples, making this the highest mintage among 4 variants, accounting for 56% of the year's production. The obverse features Liberty facing right wearing a Phrygian cap topped by a laurel wreath, with the word LIBERTY on a headband and the reverse displays a heraldic eagle with shield on breast, olive branch and arrows in talons, with a banner reading E PLURIBUS UNUM. The 1909-O is the final New Orleans Mint quarter — the facility closed permanently after this year. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $24 to $479 depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 6.3 grams, 24.3 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #5653.
