Barber Quarters - with Varieties Set

This set becomes VERY challenging not just in price, but in availability. Trying to find any of the Lawrence-described varieties is difficult, not to mention pricey. References on this series include Walter Breen's 1987 Encyclopedia, David Lawrence's 1991 Complete Guide and Bowers' Guide Book of 2015. The Barber Coin Collectors' Society articles are helpful, but many coins are left open for interpretation and valuation. Generally, I have used Lawrence's work as guidance in defining the varieties and a compilation of works to describe rarity.
