1902 Barber Silver Quarter Dollar 90% Coin 1902 Barber Silver Quarter Dollar 90% Coin This 1902 Barber Quarter is a classic example of early 20th-century American coinage, struck in 90% silver. Designed by Charles E. Barber, the obverse features a classic Liberty head wearing a Phrygian cap and a laurel wreath, while the reverse showcases a heraldic eagle based on the Great Seal of the United States. This circulated coin displays honest wear consistent with its age, with the date 1902 clearly visible on the obverse. No mint mark is present on the reverse below the eagle's tail, indicating this piece was produced at the Philadelphia Mint.
