Message:: [QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 7825358, member: 104064"]Many collectors aren't aware of these. There were two reverse designs in 1892, because the original issue didn't stack properly, and Barber rushed to correct that. NGC designates those two. Then in 1900 the reverse design changed again, so across all three mints there are Rev II and Rev III. These are distinguished by the wingtips on Rev III extending beyond the E's. The obverse also changed in 1900, adding cartilage to the inner ear and making leaf tips slightly more pointed. I became vaguely aware of these changes a few years ago, and then became aware that a lot of the documentation on the 1900 combinations is inaccurate regarding the die pairings. 1/2, 1/3, 2/2, and 2/3 exist for all three mints, but places like NGC often say things like "The majority of 1900-S quarters have the 1/2 hub pairing, but this issue is also known paired 2/3", when in fact 2/2 and 1/3 also exist in very small proportions. To complicate matters even further, I was looking into a recent BCCS (Barber Coin Collectors Society) article, and discovered that there is a third obverse type! I am working on an article detailing this, and searched through about 400-500 coins online documenting the proportions of the various combinations. That's where I got the 70% figure for 1900-S being I/II. Not many collectors care enough about any of this to assign a premium, but it's fun.[/QUOTE]
