1899-O Barber Half Dollar AG
Struck at the historic New Orleans Mint, this 1899 silver half dollar represents a classic era of United States coinage. The coin is composed of 90 percent silver, containing 0.3575 troy ounces of the precious metal. It carries the distinct 'O' mint mark, indicating its origin from the southern branch mint. The obverse displays a profile of Lady Liberty. In this representation, she wears a traditional Phrygian cap paired with a laurel wreath. The motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' is visible above her portrait, with the year 1899 positioned below. On the reverse, a detailed eagle spreads its wings, bearing a shield upon its chest. In its beak, the eagle holds a banner, while its talons grasp an olive branch and a bundle of arrows. The inscriptions 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and 'HALF DOLLAR' frame this patriotic design.
