| In the late 1800s and early 1900s, "Barber" silver half-dollars were the staple of America's pocket change. Named Barbers because of their designer, U.S. Mint Engraver Charles E. Barber, these silver coins were originally called Liberty Heads for his depiction of Lady Liberty and are coveted for their 90% silver content. Circulated condition. |
