I'm curious generally where it was dug (town, state), as far as how far it circulated.

 

I live in Connecticut. In a town called Eastford. It was found near a cellar hole. Also, found a rusty 1895 Liberty head nickel in the same hole about 8 inches down.. Probably not very circulated before dropped.

 

Love these old threads that get revived...

1902-O Barber Quarter (VF25)...

 

I know this is a very old thread..
It's on my bucket list to find one metal detecting!
My buddies in my Metal Detecting club have found them but not me
This year I found 6 Barber Dimes. I know there has to be a beautiful Barber Quarter somewhere!

 

It certainly appears not to have circulated much. Interesting that it made it all the way to CT. It's Reverse II, which was quickly implemented supposedly because the original didn't stack properly. Great find.

 

Last call quarters from the New Orleans Mint:

 

When I was about ten years old, I thought the obverse Barber design was a Roman gladiator.

Not a very feminine design of Ms. Liberty.

So, you are not the only one to think the obverse Barber design was a male.

 

Wow, nice, breaking out the big guns

 

No choice when it's the only one you have.

 

Type set collection?

 

Yep, 1793 to date, including gold. I am down to expensive and some I will never acquire regardless of grade, like pre-1834 gold and 1796 quarter. But I assuage my grief by expanding my type set to include pre-federation and colonial.

Surprisingly difficult to acquire nice examples of some things, like 1873-4 with arrows quarter and half dollar.

 

one of my favorite dates.

Per Lawrence one of his favorites.

With all of my Barber quarters, my best '09 O is a F-12+

 

Oh, and thanks for reviving this thread.
