What is the value of a 1894 fifty cent piece?

Answer 1

Assuming the coin is circulated and has no mintmark, the 1894 Barber Half dollar is a fairly better date of the series. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. Most coins show a lot of wear. In general retail values for low grade coins are $30.00-$110.00, better grade are $180.00-$285.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $300.00-$515.00. Values are a market average and only for coins in collectible condition, coins that are bent, corroded, scratched, used as jewelery or have been cleaned have far less value if any to a collector or dealer.
