Barber Half Dollars are a series of coins minted by the United States from 1892 to 1915, designed by Charles E. Barber. The 50-cent pieces are known for their classic design featuring Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. The 1896 Barber Half Dollar, minted in Philadelphia, is particularly collectible due to its historical significance and limited availability in high-grade condition. Collectors often seek these coins for their aesthetic appeal and as part of a broader focus on early 20th-century U.S. coinage.
