1892 Barber Half Dollar AG
The year 1892 marked a major transition in United States coinage with the introduction of a new half dollar design by Charles Barber. Struck in 90% silver, this fifty-cent piece represents the very first year of a celebrated design era. The coin contains 0.3575 troy ounces of precious metal, combining historical artistry with intrinsic silver content. On the obverse, Lady Liberty is depicted facing right, wearing a laurel wreath and a Phrygian cap. The motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" is inscribed above her profile, with the date 1892 positioned below. This imagery is paired with a reverse design featuring a heraldic eagle with outstretched wings. The eagle carries a shield upon its chest, grasps an olive branch and a cluster of arrows in its talons, and holds a banner in its beak, surrounded by the legend "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA."
