The Barber Half Dollar is a 50-cent coin that was produced by the United States Mint from 1892 to 1915. Designed by Charles E. Barber, the coin features a Liberty head on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. The 1899 Barber Half is one of the earlier issues, with a total mintage of over 1.4 million coins, making it relatively common but still sought after by collectors, especially in higher grades. Collectors value Barber Halves for their historical significance and aesthetic design, as well as for their silver content, comprised of 90% silver and 10% copper.
