Historical Note:
The Barber Half Dollar was produced from 1892 to 1915 and remains one of the most recognizable U.S. coin designs of the early 20th century. The 1908-D issue was struck at the Denver Mint, which had only begun producing coins in 1906.
Though common in lower grades, branch mint issues like this one are always in demand among collectors. With strong VG detail and an accessible price point, this coin is a great addition to any vintage U.S. silver collection.
