Design and Specifications of the 1910 Quarter
The 1910 Quarter is part of the Barber Quarter series, which was minted from 1892 to 1916. This coin design, created by Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber, was a response to public demand for a change in coinage design. The Barber Quarter replaced the long-running Seated Liberty design and represented a more modern aesthetic for American coinage in the early 20th century.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of a 1910 Quarter significantly impacts its value. While circulated examples are relatively common, uncirculated specimens are considerably rarer and more valuable. Coins in MS63 or better are highly sought after by collectors.
Key factors affecting condition include:
– Strike quality: Well-struck coins with full details are more desirable.
– Luster: Original mint luster adds significant value.
– Surface preservation: Fewer marks and abrasions increase desirability.
– Toning: Natural, attractive toning can enhance value for some collectors.

Rarity in high grades is a crucial factor for the 1910 Quarter. While the mintage figures are relatively high, very few specimens have survived in gem condition (MS65 or higher). This scarcity in top grades drives up prices for well-preserved examples.
The historical significance of the Barber design and its relatively short production run (compared to some other U.S. coin series) add to the coin’s appeal. Additionally, as a 90% silver coin, it has intrinsic value beyond its numismatic worth, which can affect overall market demand, especially in lower grades.
