Up for auction/sale is a scarce, highly collectable key-date U.S. silver half dollar—an authentic 1915-S Barber Half Dollar in Very Good (VG) condition featuring a unique, gorgeous gunmetal tone on the reverse from vintage velvet-case storage!

Struck at the historic San Francisco Mint during the final year of the classic Barber coin series, the 1915-S boasts a very low original mintage of just 508,400 pieces—making it one of the absolute lowest-mintage circulation strikes in the entire Barber half dollar series. Finding mid-grade survivors like this is a challenge for series specialists. Displaying honest, even circulation wear paired with a striking, dark gunmetal-grey patina on the reverse side imparted by decades of secure storage in a vintage velvet-lined coin case, this specimen represents a fantastic, character-rich addition to any advanced U.S. type or half dollar collection.
