Description
The 1909 (S) Barber Quarter is a quarter produced at the San Francisco Mint as part of the Barber Quarters 1892-1916 series. With a mintage of 1.3 million, this is a less common issue — ranked 2nd of 4 mint variants by mintage, with 8% of 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 San Francisco Mint, established during the California Gold Rush and now primarily producing proof and collector coins. Estimated market value ranges from $24 to $941 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 #5656.
