1902-S Barber Half Dollar Good
The 1902 Barber half dollar, minted in San Francisco, offers a tangible glimpse into early twentieth-century American coinage. Struck in 90% silver, this fifty-cent piece carries a metal weight of 0.3575 troy ounces. While this specific coin shows significant wear on its details and outer rim, the core elements of its classic design remain recognizable. On the obverse, the profile of Lady Liberty faces right, adorned with a laurel wreath and a Phrygian cap. Above her head, the national motto of faith is visible, with the year 1902 anchored at the bottom. The reverse side features a heraldic eagle with spread wings, a protective shield over its chest, and a banner held in its beak. In its talons, the eagle grasps a combination of an olive branch and a bundle of arrows, representing both peace and defense. The mint mark "S" indicates its origin from the West Coast facility.
