<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aberlight, post: 188795, member: 6510&quot;]I have always collected Barber quarters and have recently begun looking at proof Barbers. I need some advice. How can you tell the difference between business strikes and Proof. I have never actually held a Proof, but what I am needing to know is if all barber proofs will have a mirrored field? It seems that some are cameo and others aren&#039;t. What really blows my mind is that I see a few on Ebay and the internet that do not have mirrored fields, but are advertised as Proof.</p><p><br /></p><p>For you old timers......I have run across articles citing 1989 high prices of Barber quarters in the $3000.00 dollar ranges whereas now they are close to $800.</p><p><a href="http://www.pcgs.com/articles/article_view.chtml?artid=3417&amp;universeid=313&amp;type=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/articles/article_view.chtml?artid=3417&amp;universeid=313&amp;type=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgs.com/articles/article_view.chtml?artid=3417&amp;universeid=313&amp;type=1</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Did these really get that high back in the day?
