The Barber Half Dollar, minted from 1892 to 1915, is a 50-cent coin featuring the designs of sculptor Charles E. Barber. The 1894 Barber Half, specifically minted in Philadelphia, is notable among collectors due to its limited production, with only a few hundred made, making it extremely rare and valuable. This coin showcases Liberty's head on the obverse and an eagle with shield on the reverse, exemplifying the artistry and historical significance of American coinage during the late 19th century.
