Barber Halves are silver fifty-cent coins minted in the United States from 1892 to 1915, designed by Charles E. Barber. The 1897 Barber Half Dollar struck in San Francisco (S mintmark) is particularly sought after by collectors due to its limited mintage and historical significance. Coins from this era often exhibit varying levels of condition and rarity, influencing their market value in the numismatic community.
