COIN SHOP VISITS - Barber or Liberty Head Half Dollar 1914 S

Today's Coin Shop Visit yielded a Barber or Liberty Head Half Dollar 1914 S.

The Barber design was created by Charles E. Barber. It is called the Barber or Liberty Head, design was applied to the Half Dollar, the Quarter Dollar and the Dime. Here is a Barber Half Dollar 1914 S.

I selected this Barber Half Dollar 1914 S today to go along with my post from last week:

There is just something about old coins. So much history and so much beauty. Great pick up! I have not seen one that good of condition in a long time

Thanks for the reply. It is amazing to think of the history this coin would have seen.

That is a beauty and a nice collector piece. Such a low mintage that year. Thanks for sharing.

On second look, it does have a low mintage at 992,000. Anything under a million is probably good.

That's what I was thinking. The other San Francisco coins are all over 1 million.

Maybe I need to find a 1913 S. It looks to be even lower at 604,000 or any 1913 for that matter 1913 D at 534,000 and 1913 at 188,000. Those are some low numbers.

I still don't like the "Spread Eagle" design...

Thanks for the reply. How do you like the condition on this coin? I'm thinking VG.

At least VG. Possibly F-12.

Thanks for your opinion. I appreciate it.

Nice score @goldkey. It is a really cool piece that is over 100 years old! And it still looks in pretty good condition.

Thanks. Over 100 years old and it has seen a lot of history in these past 100 years. Amazing.

A pleasure as always to see a decent coin.
The coin seems to be in VG/F condition. Thus the numismatic value + silver.

Thanks for your thoughts on this coin's grade. I also think it has numismatic value greater than the melt value.

great..have many..and thanks for you r support..my latest is up. big gains coming.

Thanks for your support and replies.

The reverse looks similar to a silver eagle.

I think it is all based on the "Great Seal of the United States".

Very Nice collection bro you are awesome. thank @goldkey
