Famous & Notable Barber Quarter Errors
These are the Barber quarter varieties collectors usually check first. Buttons open the reference source in the same popup style as the other error pages.
1892-S RPM S/S FS-501
First-year San Francisco repunched mintmark variety and one of the cleaner Barber quarter variety checks from the ODT list.
1892 DDO FS-101
First-year doubled-die obverse listing. A good variety to check on early Barber quarters.
—
1892-O Clashed Dies FS-901
New Orleans clashed-die listing and a nice notable error type beyond repunched dates and mintmarks.
—
1914-D DDO FS-101
Later-series doubled-die obverse listing. Include it with the notable Barber quarter checks because DDO listings are less common than RPD/RPM listings.
—
1916-D D/D Large/Small FS-008
Denver mintmark variety listed by PCGS; useful as a mintmark-size and repunching check.
