Historical Note:
The Barber Half Dollar, first issued in 1892, was the workhorse silver coin of its era. Designed by Charles E. Barber, it circulated heavily in the early 1900s and is known for its sturdy, neoclassical design. The 1904 issue represents the final year before New Orleans began its final two years of half dollar production and is a common but essential piece for building a complete Barber set.
With its strong mid-grade detail and original surfaces, this example offers historical depth and tangible silver value at a collector-friendly price.
