1911 Barber Half Dollar Good
The 1911 Barber half dollar represents a classic era of United States coinage, minted with a composition of 90 percent silver. Containing 0.3575 troy ounces of precious metal, this fifty cent piece showcases the distinct artistry of Charles Barber, whose work defined the look of America's turn of the century silver currency. On the obverse side, the profile of Lady Liberty is depicted facing right, adorned with a laurel wreath and a Phrygian cap. The year 1911 is clearly struck at the bottom of the design, while the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" is positioned above her portrait. The reverse features a heraldic eagle with its wings spread wide. A protective shield rests upon the eagle's chest as it holds a banner in its beak. Clutched in its talons are an olive branch and a bundle of arrows, symbolizing both peace and readiness, surrounded by the legend "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and the "HALF DOLLAR" denomination.
