Best Answer

Barber halves (as well as Walking Liberty, Franklin, and 1964 JFK halves) weigh 12.5 gm when unworn and are composed of 90% silver, 10% copper. That gives them a pure silver content of 11.25 gm.

However, many Barber halves are worth more as collectibles than for their silver content. Look for a mint mark under the eagle and then check the values site linked below.
