90% Silver Barber Halves ($1 FV, Cull)

Only two individuals in United States Mint history have gone down in history with their names associated with circulation coin program designs. The first was George T. Morgan who designed the Morgan Silver Dollar produced from 1878 to 1904. The second was Charles E. Barber, 6th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, who created the shared images of the dime, quarter, and half dollar used from 1892 to 1916. Now, 90% Silver Barber Halves with a total $1 Face Value are available to you for purchase online at Silver.com.

Charles E. Barber is part of the only father-son duo to hold the position of Chief Engraver of the United States Mint. Not only did Barber and his father, William Barber, both hold the same bust, but the duo held the post in successive order with Charles replacing his father in the role upon the elder Barber’s death.

William Barber served as the 5th Chief Engraver of the US Mint from 1869 to 1880. Upon his death, his son Charles took over as the 6th Chief Engraver and held the position for an astonishing 37 years in total. Like his father, Charles E. Barber served as the Chief Engraver until his death in 1917.

The obverse face of all 90% Silver Barber Halves includes a right-profile bust of Lady Liberty. This bust of Liberty was created by Barber in 1892 and featured on the dime, quarter, and half dollar in this series through 1916. The bust of Liberty showcases her figure with a crown wreath and a cap keeping her hair up in a bun.

On the reverse side of 90% Silver Barber Halves is a depiction of the heraldic eagle of the United States. The first heraldic eagle was designed in 1794 by Robert Scot, the mint’s 1st Chief Engraver. Each subsequent design of the heraldic eagle was modified and made unique by other designers and Chief Engravers. Barber’s design includes the American bald eagle in front-facing relief with the arrows of war in one talon and an olive branch in the other.

These 90% Silver Barber Halves are available to you with a total face value of $1 (USD). The coins are packaged together in pairs inside of a plastic bag. Individual coins are all cull specimens with heavy wear and tear, as well as other signs of obvious damage. This can include severe damage such as holes, bends, or deep scratches. Please note your bag may contain coins with matching dates or different dates. All date marks will be between 1892 and 1916.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
