Additional Notes: The Barber Half Dollar (1892-1915). The Barber Half Dollar was the 3rd variety of the coin minted by the United States. This coin’s design was heralded as being intricate beyond words, yet simple enough that the coin’s faces did not appear to be overcrowded. Minted for less than 25 years, there are fewer of these half dollars on the market than there are of plenty of the other varieties.
