This Barber Half Dollar series is starting to garner the attention of many collectors. With no major rarities in the series, a complete set is possible to assemble. The austere obverse design gives a beautiful look in high grades.
The Barber issue was the last U.S. coin series to have the same design on the dime, quarter and half dollar. It was designed by Charles E. Barber, a U.S. Mint engraver.
