History

The Barber Coinage is a term that refers to the dime, quarter, and half-dollar designs created in 1892 by Charles E. Barber for those circulation denominations. The bust of Liberty on the obverse of all three coins was the same, while the quarter and half-dollar coins shared the same heraldic eagle design and the dime had its denomination inside of a wreath.
