[QUOTE="Clinker, post: 1635337, member: 6229"][SIZE=3]You know Charles E. Barber, the sixth Chief Engraver of the United States Mint (1879-1917), designed the long-existing [I]Barber[/I] [I]Dimes[/I], [I]Quarters [/I]and [I]Half Dollars[/I]. Do you know his middle initial "E" stands for Edward? Do you know he succeded his father, William Barber, who was the mint's fifth Chief Engraver (1869-1879)? Do you know the two coins William designed? HINT: Both denominations were short lived entities. 1. He designed the 20 Cent piece. 2. He designed the Trade Dollar. NOTE: He designed a few pattern coins, such as this 1877 silver half dollar, Judd #1528: [URL="http://store1.yimg.com/I/uspatterns_1907_4804899"]http://store1.yimg.com/I/uspatterns_1907_4804899[/URL] Clinker [/SIZE][/QUOTE]
