Barber Half Dollars were made from 1892 to 1915. They were designed by Charles Barber with the same design as used on the dime and quarter.
Coins were minted in Philadelphia, Denver, New Orleans, and San Francisco. Many better dates exist in the Barber Half Dollar Series, but none are prohibitively rare or expensive.
Silver-gray and subtle gold tone.
One of the 'keys' to the series with a mintage of 390,000. This is a well struck example with surfaces that blend gray shade, gold tone, and peripheral blue accent.
Micro O. Well detailed with problem-free warm gray shaded surfaces.
Outstanding for the grade with a sharp strike and rich satiny mostly white luster. The surfaces are choice and devoid of significant abrasions.
Well struck with rich satiny luster that has a silver-white base and a sprinkle of toning. An attractive example of this scarce date from the first year of the series.
Fantastic 'black and white' contrast with deeply mirrored surfaces and heavily frosted devices. Light champagne and violet blue clings mostly to the periphery. Only 4 DCAM grade finer at PCGS. Super quality!
Rich gray surfaces with plenty of noticeable underlying luster.
Sharply struck with proof-like surfaces and flashy brilliant luster displaying a golden hue. One of the 'keys' to the series with a modest mintage of 740,000.
Very flashy with heavy white frost on the design and deep mirrored brilliant fields. Devoid of any significant marks or lines and exceptionally pleasing!
Frosted white design features and deep watery white mirrored fields give this coin a strong cameo contrast and excellent eye appeal.
Sharply struck and proof-like on the obverse while the reverse is satiny. The base luster is white with a sprinkle of toning on both sides. Very attractive and a tough date in high grade.
A fabulous example of this better date with thick frosty white luster and a hint of subtle champagne-gold accent. Sharply struck and the appearance of abrasions is minimal and trivial. Super high quality with excellent eye appeal.
