Mint:

  • 1905-S: San Francisco ("S" Mint Mark)
  • 1908-O: New Orleans ("O" Mint Mark)

Historical Notes:

  • The 1905-S Barber Half Dollar was minted in San Francisco, a facility renowned for producing high-quality coinage for the Western United States.
  • The 1908-O Barber Half Dollar comes from the historic New Orleans Mint, which played a vital role in U.S. coinage production during the 19th and early 20th centuries before closing in 1909.

The Barber Half Dollar series, designed by Charles E. Barber and minted from 1892–1915, remains highly collectible for its robust silver content and classic design. These coins are perfect for collectors seeking pieces with significant historical and geographical value.
