Minted from 1892 to 1915, these coins encapsulate a bygone era of American craftsmanship and economic vitality.
Designed by Charles E. Barber, the Chief Engraver of the United States Mint at the time, these coins are revered for their intricate artistry and limited mintage numbers.
Among the plethora of Barberpieces, some stand out as particularly priceless treasures, sought after by collectors worldwide.
The "Micro O" refers to a small mintmark located beneath the eagle's tail feathers on the reverse side.
Due to a minting error, a small "O" intended for the quarter was mistakenly used on a few half dollars.
With only a handful known to exist, the 1892-O Micro O Half Dollar commands astronomical prices at auctions, often fetching six or seven figures.
Finding a well-preserved specimen is exceedingly difficult, making it highly coveted among collectors.
