The product is a very rare pop out 1908 d Barber Half Dollar repousse' high relief blazer pin made of silver with a fineness of 0.9. This uncirculated/circulated coin features the iconic Barber design and was minted in the United States in 1907. The unique aspect of this coin is its repousse' pin, adding a distinct touch to any coin collection. Yes this is an authentic Repousse' Barber Half Dollar. Repousse' meaning "push forward" in French was popular in the 16 to 1800's. This form of exonumia (form of unique numismatics)  is where someone, usually a blacksmith at the time, uses heat, hammers and anvils or old dies using extreme force to push the design of the coin forward. Once cooled the artist makes hand carved details. This piece is a valuable addition for collectors of US coins, especially those interested in the Barber series. I have only seen one at Heritage Auctions. it was a double gold eagle Sold for $3900.This is PERFECT for anyone interested in vintage jewelry too! Get it before its gone. This will not last.
