1909-S Barber Quarter. MS-66 (CACG).

This exceptional 1909-S Barber Quarter, certified MS-66 by CACG (Cert #45450163), is a standout late-issue example of Charles E. Barber’s iconic quarter dollar design, struck at the San Francisco Mint. As one of the final years of the Barber series, the 1909-S represents the closing chapter of a classic American type that bridged the 19th and early 20th centuries, making it a compelling acquisition for both type collectors and advanced date-and-mintmark specialists. Collectors will appreciate the sharply preserved motifs and the refined, original look expected at the MS-66 level. The surfaces display vibrant, satiny luster with attractive silver-white brilliance and subtle champagne-gold highlights that enhance the design without distracting from its technical quality. Fine details in Liberty’s head, the wreath, and the eagle’s feathers remain notably crisp, underscoring the strength of this premium San Francisco strike.
