The Barber Half Dollar, minted from 1892 to 1915, is part of a series designed by Charles E. Barber, serving as the Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint. The 1894 Barber Half Dollar, particularly the New Orleans mint variety, is notable among collectors due to its limited mintage and scarcity. With only a few thousand coins struck, it is highly sought after in the numismatic community, often commanding significant premiums in the market. This coin features a depiction of Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse, characteristic of early 20th-century American coinage.
