Historical Note:
The Barber Half Dollar series concluded in 1915, making this 1915-D one of the final coins of its type struck by the U.S. Mint. With a relatively low mintage of just over 1.1 million pieces, the Denver issue is highly collectible — especially in honest circulated grades that retain strong details.
This coin bridges the gap between classic 19th-century designs and the modern era, preceding the release of the Walking Liberty Half Dollar in 1916.
Working on a full Barber half set or assembling key final-year coins? This 1915-D fills an important and historic slot.
