Design and Specifications of the 1907 Quarter
The 1907 Barber Quarter was part of the Barber coinage series, which began in 1892 and continued until 1916. Named after its designer, Charles E. Barber, the Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint, this coin represents a significant period in American numismatic history. The Barber design was a departure from the previous Seated Liberty design and was created to modernize U.S. coinage.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of a 1907 Barber Quarter significantly impacts its value. Coins in circulated grades (Good to Extra Fine) are relatively common and affordable. However, the value increases dramatically for coins in Uncirculated (Mint State) condition, especially MS65 and above.
Key factors affecting condition include:
1. Strike quality: Well-struck coins with full details are more desirable.
2. Luster: Original mint luster adds significant value.
3. Surface preservation: Fewer contact marks and scratches increase desirability.
4. Toning: Natural, attractive toning can enhance value, particularly for high-grade specimens.

Market Demand: High, particularly for well-preserved specimens
Several factors can influence the value of a 1907 Barber Quarter beyond its condition:
1. Mint mark: San Francisco (S) mint coins are generally more valuable due to lower mintage.
2. Strike characteristics: Some mints produced sharper strikes, which are more desirable to collectors.
3. Die state: Late die state coins with interesting die cracks or cuds may command a premium.
4. Provenance: Coins with a notable ownership history can be more valuable.
5. Certification: Third-party graded coins often command higher prices, especially in high grades.
For all mint locations, high-grade examples (MS65+) are considerably rarer and more valuable due to the coin’s age and the fact that most were released into circulation.
