Barber&#039;s father, William Barber, was also an engraver and Charles Barber became the chief engraver when his father died in August 1879. Charles Barber&#039;s tenure as chief engraver was surrouded by strife as new ideas with regard to coin design and for that matter ideas of proper modern governance were skillfully navigated by Barber who owed his logivity in office as much to his political skills as much as his artistics skills. Aside from his political skills, however, Barber was a brilent engraver and as time progresses and the political fallout is forgotten over time we are left with just the art of the Barber coins, and they are largely breath taking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
