The Barber Half Dollar, minted from 1892 to 1915, features a design by Charles E. Barber. The 1897 Barber Half Dollar, specifically from the San Francisco Mint (S mint mark), is a popular collectible due to its limited mintage and historical significance. This coin consists of 90% silver and 10% copper, making it appealing to both numismatists and silver investors. Its design showcases Liberty on the obverse and a heraldic eagle on the reverse, reflecting the artistry of late 19th-century American coinage.
