Barber Halves, named after designer Charles E. Barber, were minted in the United States from 1892 to 1915. The 1912 Philadelphia mint issue is notable for its combination of silver content and historical significance, featuring an obverse design of Liberty and a reverse that showcases an eagle. As a collectible, the 1912 Barber Half is sought after by numismatists for its relatively low mintage and the overall appeal of the Barber series. It is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, contributing to its durability and value in the market.
