1896-S Barber Quarter (25c)

The 1896-S Quarter is a key date in the Barber quarter series, with a mintage of just 188,039 pieces. Its low production numbers, combined with the significant attrition rate during its circulation, make it one of the most challenging dates to find. This coin is part of the trio of low-mintage "S" mint Barber quarters (along with the 1901-S and 1913-S), all of which are highly sought after.

This particular 1896-S Barber Quarter is graded G06 by PCGS and proudly bears a CAC sticker, affirming its exceptional quality for the grade. The coin exhibits honest wear appropriate for G06, with clear and legible date, mintmark, and major design elements. The surfaces have a pleasing, even wear, with no significant abrasions or damage, making it a highly desirable example.
