1903 Barber Half Dollar Good
The 1903 half dollar represents a classic era of United States silver coinage. Struck with a purity of 90 percent silver, this fifty-cent piece contains 0.3575 troy ounces of precious metal. This particular specimen survives in Good condition, showing the honest wear of a coin that actively circulated in daily commerce at the turn of the twentieth century. Designed by Charles Barber, the coin features a dignified portrait of Lady Liberty on the obverse. She is depicted facing right, wearing a laurel wreath over a Phrygian cap, with the national motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" visible above her. The year 1903 is positioned directly below the bust. The reverse side displays a heraldic eagle with outstretched wings, bearing a shield across its chest. In its beak, the eagle holds a ribbon banner, while its talons grasp an olive branch and a bundle of arrows, symbolizing both peace and readiness. The legend "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" arches over this detailed patriotic motif.
