Product Description
Silver bullion rounds offer the savvy investor a straightforward method of adding silver to their portfolio. They are available in a variety of appealing designs and are easily recognized and traded by rare coin and bullion dealers around the world.
These Silver Barber Rounds contain one troy ounce of pure .999 silver each, are hallmark stamped to that effect, and have a diameter of 39mm, making them roughly the same size as an American Silver Eagle. Their design is taken directly from the classic Silver Barber Half Dollar.
The Liberty Head, or Barber Half Dollar traces its origin to a pair of failed artistic competitions, one soliciting submissions from a distinguished group of artists and one from the public at large. The artists proved to be too costly, and the public too untalented, so the Mint director was forced to stay in-house and turn to the man previously in line for the job, Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber, from whom the coins take their name. His design for the obverse of the Half Dollar depicts a very Classical Liberty in profile, facing right, wearing a laurel wreath over her capped hair and a diadem, with the incused inscription “Liberty”, across her brow. Barber’s neoclassical design continues on in the Silver Barber Rounds.
