Description

The 1904 (S) Barber Half Dollar is a half dollar produced at the San Francisco Mint as part of the Barber Half Dollars 1892-1915 series. With a mintage of 553,038, this is a scarce issue — the lowest mintage among 3 mint variants, representing only 12% of total production. The obverse features Liberty facing right wearing a Phrygian cap topped by a laurel wreath, with the word LIBERTY on a headband and the reverse displays a heraldic eagle with shield on breast, olive branch and arrows in talons, with a banner reading E PLURIBUS UNUM. The 1904-S with a mintage of 553,038 is a notable semi-key date for the series. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, established during the California Gold Rush and now primarily producing proof and collector coins. Estimated market value ranges from $110 to $23K depending on grade and condition. Weighing 12.5 grams, 30 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #6500.
