Barber Halves are a type of U.S. silver coin that were minted from 1892 to 1915. The 50-cent coin features a design by Charles E. Barber, showcasing Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. The 1896 Barber Half Dollar, minted in San Francisco, is particularly sought after by collectors due to its lower mintage and historical significance. These coins are composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, contributing to their value in the numismatic market.
