Barber Silver Half Dollar - Background & Design:

In 1890, the Mint Act established that the United States Mint could only change the appearance of its coins after they had been in circulation for 25 years. A year later, the half dollar became eligible for a makeover. In 1892, there appeared a new half dollar, designed by the Mint’s Chief Engraver, Charles E. Barber. The so-named Barber Half Dollar was born. The Mint only issued it until 1915, with just under 2 million coins produced each year. Composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, they portrayed Lady Liberty. She wears a wreath on its obverse and an eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch on its reverse. This silver coin was impressive in its day for its intricacy, simplicity, and clean design. And during its time in circulation, it was an important part of American history. In addition, it was one of the most used coins by American settlers venturing west, as they needed a currency that was literally worth its weight to trade for much-needed goods and services on the frontier.

The Mint produced a relatively small number of Barber Half Dollars. In addition, many were lost or badly damaged during America’s westward expansion. Hence, finding one in good shape today is a pretty rare pleasure. Depending on where it was minted—which could be Philadelphia, Denver, New Orleans, or San Francisco—its year, and its condition, it could be worth anywhere from a few dollars up to thousands of dollars.
