Beginning in 1907 and occurring for the next few years, there would be a longer list of business-strike Barber quarters, thanks to the start of operations at the Denver mint in 1906 and the return of the San Francisco mint to the Barber quarter arena in 1907.
What’s the value of a silver Barber quarter?
If you have any old silver quarters in well preserved condition the value quickly rises to $45 or more. Even older, the Barber series has similar high demand coins. In the eye pleasing “Fine” condition many dates are worth $35 to $45 or more. Further back in time are the Seated Liberty and earlier still the Bust Quarters.
Where was the first American Quarter minted?
Early quarters; 1796 until 1840, were all minted at the Philadelphia mint, the only mint at the time. Mintages were in the range of two to three hundred thousand per year with a few low production years. 1835 is unusual with close to two million struck. Branch mints began striking quarters in 1840 with the New Orleans mint.
