This week's Featured Web Site is devoted to Barber Half Dollars.
The Barber Half Dollar was introduced in 1892 along with the similarly designed dime and quarter dollar coins. The half dollar featured the same basic design, consisting of Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. The series was produced until 1915, when it was replaced by the popular Walking Liberty Half Dollar. The Barber Half Dollar is traditionally one of the less popular series to collect, but has been attracting more attention recently and original pieces have become increasingly difficult to find in any grade.
