1906-D Liberty Head Eagle. MS-66 (NGC). This is an exceptionally smooth, highly attractive example of a historic Denver Mint eagle. Richly original surfaces display a blend of billowy mint frost and deep orange-apricot color. Striking detail is razor sharp to full, enhancing the already strong appeal.The 1906-D is the first Denver Mint eagle, and has a generous mintage of 981,000 pieces. Enough Uncirculated coins have been located in foreign bank reserves that the 1906-D is available in grades up to and including MS-64. However, it becomes elusive in MS-65 and rare any finer. This MS-66 is among the finest certified examples at either PCGS or NGC, and would serve as a highlight in even the most advanced gold cabinet. PCGS# 8760. NGC ID: 2685. NGC Census: 2; with a single MS-67 finer. The corresponding PCGS Population is 3/0.
