BARBER, CHARLES E.
BARBER, CHARLES E. (Amer.). Sixth Engraver to the United States Mint at Philadelphia. He was a son of William Barber, and was born in London, in 1840.

There is a medal commemorating the coronation of Queen Victoria, 1838, by this engraver; the work is however very poor. The Portrait-medal of Geo. Walter, the great Railway Cham...
