Blended blue-gray to antique silver patina richly coats the obverse of this glorious Gem, while the reverse is awash in a near uniform golden tone, darkening a bit toward the rims. An uncommonly bold strike has brought virtually every detail of the obverse and reverse into sharp focus and highlighted them on the backdrop of an amazingly smooth surface, in all, creating an exquisite coin that is a joy to behold.<br />Quite a common date, particularly in the lower grades, however above MS-64 the population drops off precipitously. While PCGS Population Report records 24 pieces graded at MS-64, there are only eight at 66, this specimen as the sole MS-66+, and just 3 higher - one MS-67 and two at MS-67+. As is true of most other Barber half dollar issues, Gem-quality pieces are rare, with branch mint pieces often especially so. The great eye appeal of this coin may make it someones choice to represent the Barber half in their type set, but they are going to have to compete with date collectors trying to acquire one of the finest known 1906-Os for their set. Wherever it goes, however, it is destined to be a source of pride and enjoyment for the new owner. ,,PCGS# 6506. NGC ID: 24MW.,PCGS Population: 1; just 3 finer through MS-67+. ,
