1915 Barber Half Dollar Good
The 1915 Barber half dollar represents a classic era of United States coinage. Struck in 90 percent silver, this fifty cent piece contains 0.3575 troy ounces of precious metal. The year 1915 saw a remarkably low production for this denomination, with only 138,000 of these silver pieces struck at the Philadelphia Mint. Designed by Charles Barber, the obverse of the coin presents the profile of Lady Liberty wearing a laurel wreath and a Phrygian cap. Above her image, the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" is inscribed, with the date 1915 positioned below. The reverse displays a heraldic eagle with its wings spread wide, protecting a shield on its chest. The eagle holds a banner in its beak while clutching an olive branch and a group of arrows in its talons. The surrounding inscription reads "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" alongside the denomination "HALF DOLLAR". This worn specimen, graded in Good condition, offers a tangible connection to early twentieth century American currency design.
