There have been six major design types of quarters minted in the United
States since 1796. They are Draped Bust, Capped Bust, Liberty Seated,
Barber, Standing Liberty and Washington Quarters.
Each has at least one different variety, some like the Liberty Seated has
five different variations. Our present day Washington Quarter has two
different design types with each in two different compositions. Out this
year are yet five more new variations and over the next 10 years there will
be over fifty different variations of Washington Quarters.
The Barber quarter, called after the designer Charles E. Barber, with his
initial B. at the truncation of the neck. Is also called the Liberty Head,
it features a head of Liberty facing right.

The Standing Liberty quarter, a personal favorite, features a full-length
figure of Liberty. Her left arm is upraised uncovering a shield in the
attitude of protection and her right hand bears the olive branch of peace.
The Washington quarter minted in 1932 was intended to be a commemorative issue marking the two hundredth anniversary of Washington's birth.
Delaware the first state and the first of fifty quarters to be issued. |
