Why did populist wanted US to move from a currency backed by gold to one backed by both gold and silver?

In 1893, the country was in thrown into a depression that lasted until roughly 1900 from the bursting of the railroad speculation bubble. Populists, who were primarily farmers, wanted to reinstate the system of bimetallism that had traditionally been in place in an effort to inflate the currency to provide them with more cash that could then be used to pay off their debts with cheaper dollars. -It would increase the supply of money.

What is the value of an 1899 half dollar?

Assuming the coin is circulated and has no mintmark, the 1899 Barber half is a common date coin. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. Most coins show heavy wear. In general retail values for low grade coins are $13.00-$37.00, better grade are $100.00-$180.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $310.00-$450.00. 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
