Barber Halves are a type of silver half dollar coin minted in the United States from 1892 to 1915, designed by Charles E. Barber. The 1892 Barber Half Dollar features an obverse portrait of Liberty and a reverse depicting an eagle with a shield. The New Orleans mint produced a limited number of these coins, making certain dates more desirable among collectors. The 50 cent denomination is popular for its historical significance and metallic composition, containing 90% silver and 10% copper. Collectors often seek out high-grade examples or specific mint marks to complete their collections.
