Barber or Liberty Head type half dollars were minted between 1892-1915. They were designed by Charles E. Barber with a weight of 12.50 grams and a composition of .900 silver and .100 copper. They are a little larger at 30.6 mm. diameter. They have a reeded edge and they were minted in Philadelphia, Denver, New Orleans, and San Fransisco.
The mint mark location is on the reverse below the eagle. The most valuable ones are the 1892O or an 1892S. This is on my wish list.
