The 1899 Silver Barber Quarter is a notable piece of American coinage, part of a series designed by Charles E. Barber. In "F/VF" (Fine to Very Fine) condition, the coin typically shows moderate wear but still retains considerable details of the original design. On the obverse, the head of Liberty faces right, wearing a Phrygian cap, which symbolizes freedom and liberty. The word "Liberty" is inscribed on the band of the cap. The year of mintage, "1899," is positioned below the portrait. The reverse features an eagle with outstretched wings and a shield on its chest, clutching arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing preparedness for war and a desire for peace. The motto "E Pluribus Unum" appears above the eagle, while "United States of America," the denomination "Quarter Dollar," and a wreath surround the eagle.
