When the submitted designs for a contest in the late 1880s resulted in more disappointment, Barber was given the job of developing new images for the dime, quarter, and half dollar. He would go on to create a Liberty bust for the obverse that was shared across all three denominations, while the reverse featured a shared design for the half dollar and quarter, while the dime got its own design.

Barber Half Dollars were produced by the Denver Mint, New Orleans Mint, and San Francisco Mint with mint marks on the reverse directly beneath the eagle.

These 90% Silver Barber Half Dollars are available in a lot of $1 (USD). The bag you receive will include two half dollars that will either feature the same date mark or different date marks. These coins are in average circulated condition, indicating there are modest signs of wear and tear you would expect to find on previously circulated coins.
