What is the value of a 1908 US quarter?

Answer 1

From 1892 through 1916, the United States Mint produced the Barber Quarter, named for 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 a D, O or S.
