1892–1915 Barber Silver Half Dollars 3-pc Decades Set G–VG

100-Year-Old Barber Decades Sets

More than 100 years ago, it wasn’t the Kennedy Half Dollar but the Barber Half Dollar that folks had rattling around in their pockets and coin purses. Struck in highly pure 90% fine silver, these coins were designed by Charles Barber, then-Chief Engraver of the United States Mint. Other designs had been submitted — more than 300, in fact — but Barber, as part of a panel of judges, rejected them all in favor of designing the coin himself. The coin features a bust of Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap on the obverse while the reverse shows a heraldic eagle based on the Great Seal of the United States and the “HALF DOLLA.R” denomination.
