1906-D Barber Quarter. MS-66+ (PCGS). CAC. Here is an incredible premium Gem to represent the first quarter dollar issue struck at the Denver Mint. Both sides are beautifully toned in reddish-apricot, pale blue, olive and pearl gray, with the most vivid colors evident at the borders. Sharply struck overall with a full, smooth, frosty luster. Enough of the over three million coins struck were saved at the time that Mint State examples can usually be found. In grades above MS-65, as here, the 1906-D develops into a significant condition rarity. Among the finest known to PCGS, the Pogue specimen will appeal to those building high quality Barber quarter sets or mintmarked type collections. From Heritages Dallas, TX Signature Auction of November 2005, lot 1321.
