<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bqcoins, post: 996477, member: 5036&quot;]Many people don&#039;t know that in the early years of the barber quarter coinage there were two different reverses used.&nbsp; In the first reverse, seen here you can see the the serif on the E in United sticks out from beyond the eagle&#039;s wing.&nbsp; </p><p><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/bqcoins/Quarters/IMG_2577.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>This high relief supposedly led to stacking problems with the quarters.&nbsp; A theory I&#039;ve never tested as I can&#039;t afford 40 BU 1892 quarters, although it would be nice.&nbsp; Therefore the second reverse was released as seen here.</p><p><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/bqcoins/100_1874.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Now you know, oh also there is a third reverse on the barber quarter dollars but it would not come into use until 1900 and all the reverses changed to it at that time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
