Barber Halves are a type of American silver coin issued from 1892 to 1915, designed by Charles E. Barber. The coin features an obverse depicting Liberty in a classical style, with a wreath and the inscriptions "Liberty" and the year of minting, such as 1898. The reverse showcases an eagle with outstretched wings, surrounded by a shield and the inscriptions "United States of America" and "Half Dollar." The 50-cent Barber Half from 1898 contains 90% silver and is collectible due to its historical significance and the popularity of its design among numismatists.
