Answer 1

UpdatedAn 1894 quarter would be known as a Barber Quarter Dollar, after its designer Charles Barber. Look on the back of the coin to see if there's a small mint mark letter below the eagle. It may be blank or there may be an O or S.

Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values as of 09/2010:

No mint mark (Philadelphia):

Very worn condition - $6

Moderately worn - $28

Slightly worn - $48

Almost no wear - $137

Uncirculated - $240 to $2,830 depending on quality

"O" mint mark (New Orleans):
