1906-D Barber Half Dollar. MS-67 (PCGS). CAC.
This enchanting Superb Gem is would do justice to the finest mintmarked type set or specialized collection of Barber coinage. Both sides are bathed in frosty mint luster that mingles nicely with dominant pearl-gray iridescence. Blushes of powder blue, reddish-gold and champagne-apricot drift toward the peripheries to further enhance the eye appeal. Fully struck over virtually all design elements, this virtually pristine beauty will please even the most discerning numismatist.
The 1906-D is notable as the first half dollar issue from the Denver Mint. A mintage of 4,028,000 coins is generous by the standards of the Barber series, there being enough Mint State survivors to classify this as a "common" issue. However, most of the 500 or so Uncirculated coins extant (per Q. David Bowers, 2019) are confined to lower grades through MS-64, mostly due to detracting handling marks. Most are also limited in eye appeal because of uneven strikes that leave isolated features ill defined. Expertly produced and just as carefully preserved, this PCGS/CAC MS-67 is truly spectacular.
