Barber Half Dollar
Barber halves were minted between 1892 and 1915. They are one of the
coin market’s most important issues. They are collected both by date and
by “type” collectors. They are the rarest of the 20th Century sliver type
issues. They are beautiful and important rare coins, and both Gem quality
circulation strikes and proofs are wonderful.
Definition of Numismatics...
Coin collecting, or the study of currency. Coins may be collected for scholarly or historical
purposes, such as to gain a deeper insight into past cultures, for financial profit, or purely as a
hobby. Coins derive their perceived value not just from their actual currency value, but also from
their age, rarity, and other factors.
The American Numismatic Association was founded in 1891, with the goal of educating people
about the study of numismatics, and now has over 33,000 members.
Why own rare coins?
To the collector, each rare coin is a work of art and a piece of American history. To the investor, rare United
States coins represent a tangible investment with excellent long term price performance which has been
documented in many highly respected financial publications, including The Wall Street Journal and
Barron’s.
Until recently, the profitability of rare coins was enjoyed almost exclusively by those who possessed the
expertise to recognize and acquire the finest coins. However, recent developments in the rare coin
industry have opened up this promising market to virtually all investors. United States rare coins remain
one of the most private of all investments which are easily stored and transported. United States coins are
considered collectibles and, by federal law, cannot be confiscated in times of national
crisis. Investors generally acquire coins to properly diversify their investment portfolios
and for the security, liquidity and profit potential they provide.
