1892-O Barber Half Dollar AG
The year 1892 marked the debut of a new era for United States silver coinage, introducing the designs of Charles Barber. This half dollar, struck at the historic New Orleans Mint, carries the distinctive 'O' mint mark. Composed of 90% silver with a precious metal content of 0.3575 troy ounces, this coin shows the heavy wear of a long life in circulation, carrying a grade of Almost Good where the details and rims have softened over time. On the obverse, the profile of Lady Liberty is depicted wearing a laurel wreath over a Phrygian cap, a classic symbol of freedom. The reverse features a heraldic eagle with wings spread wide, protecting a shield on its chest. In its beak, the eagle holds a banner, while its talons grasp an olive branch and a bundle of arrows, representing the dual themes of peace and readiness.
