Barber (1892 – 1916)
-
In 1892, Charles Barber’s Liberty designs replaced the obverse of all the circulating silver coinages. His classic bust harkened to Roman sculpture and met with mixed reviews. His experience as a Mint engraver showed through the series. With lower reliefs and broad design the elements remained virtually the same throughout its run providing long lasting dies and proving easy to produce rapidly in large quantities. Most of the dates are readily available in XF – Choice Uncirculated. In fact, with just one true stopper (1901-S), the complete series is obtainable with patience. When considering price to population rarity, the Barber coinages appear to be of excellent value and today the series is widely collected as both type coinage from either the 19
th
and 20
th
century sets and by date.
