Description
The 1906 Barber Half Dollar is a half dollar produced at the Philadelphia Mint as part of the Barber Half Dollars 1892-1915 series. With a mintage of 2.6 million, this is a less common issue — ranked 3rd of 4 mint variants by mintage, with 24% of production. The obverse features Liberty facing right wearing a Phrygian cap topped by a laurel wreath, with the word LIBERTY on a headband and the reverse displays a heraldic eagle with shield on breast, olive branch and arrows in talons, with a banner reading E PLURIBUS UNUM. Produced during the Progressive Era, when President Theodore Roosevelt championed a renaissance in American coin design that produced some of the most beautiful coins ever struck. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $49 to $1.1K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 12.5 grams, 30 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #6504.
