Barber Halves are a series of United States 50-cent coins designed by Charles Edward Barber, minted from 1892 to 1915. The 1899 Barber Half Dollar from the New Orleans Mint is particularly notable due to its low mintage and demand among collectors. Its design features Liberty on the obverse and a bald eagle with a shield on the reverse, reflective of the early 20th-century American coinage style. The condition and rarity of the coin significantly impact its value in the collectible market.
