Value: As a rough estimate of this coins value you can assume this coin in average condition will be valued at somewhere around $20, while one in certified mint state (MS+) condition could bring as much as $2,200 at auction. This price does not reference any standard coin grading scale. So when we say average, we mean in a similar condition to other coins issued in 1902, and mint state meaning it is certified MS+ by one of the top coin grading companies.

Additional Info: Part of the 4.9 million coins listed were minted as proof 19002 Barber Half Dollars. Just under 800 of these (proof coins) were minted, and they are selling for up to $1400 each and a low of $900 if in not so good condition.

Numismatic vs Intrinsic Value: This coin in poor condition is still worth $14.83 more than the intrinsic value from silver content of $5.17, this coin is thus more valuable to a collector than to a silver bug. Coins worth more to a collectors may be a better long term investment. If the metal prices drop you will still have a coin that a numismatic would want to buy.
