1904-S Barber Half Dollar Good
The 1904-S Barber Half Dollar represents a fascinating era of American silver coinage. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this coin is composed of 90 percent silver, containing 0.3575 troy ounces of precious metal. It is part of a total mintage of 2,992,000 pieces produced for that year from the West Coast facility. Designed by Charles Barber, the obverse of the coin displays a classic depiction of Lady Liberty. She is shown facing right, adorned with a laurel wreath and a Phrygian cap, a traditional symbol of freedom. The motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" is inscribed above her, with the year 1904 positioned at the bottom. The reverse side features a heraldic eagle with its wings spread wide, protecting a shield on its chest. In its beak, the eagle holds a banner, while its talons grasp an olive branch of peace and a cluster of arrows representing strength. The mint mark "S" is located below the eagle, indicating its origin in San Francisco, surrounded by the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "HALF DOLLAR."
