Landmark 1906-D Barber Half, MS66+
First Denver Mint Issue
Second Finest PCGS Certified

1906-D 50C MS66+ PCGS Secure. CAC. Ex: Duckor. The reverse has a single thin die crack at the top of ST in STATES. Otherwise, this Premium Gem is sharply struck from perfect dies. The mintmark is upright and close to the tail feathers, minutely right of center. Both sides have highly lustrous mint frost shining through incredible iridescent toning. Faint heather at the center gives way to vibrant lime-green, orange-gold, and turquoise near the borders. A few minor surface marks on each side prevent an even higher grade.
Dale Friend and Dr. Duckor traded coins in September 2002. Initially, Duckor acquired the Dr. Thaine B. Price Collection Gem, while Friend located this example, clearly a nicer representative. Four different dates were involved in a trade at the time. The other three are the 1896-S, 1897, and 1904 issues. Friend formed the second finest PCGS Registry Set of Barber half dollars, a spot he holds behind Dr. Duckor on the All-Time Finest list.
Another collector, Dr. Peter Shireman, holds the number three finest spot and might move up to number two with a couple of well-chosen acquisitions from the present sale. At this moment, Dr. Shireman only needs 31 weighted grade points, based on the PCGS formula, to take over the second spot. With 44 coins in the Duckor Collection that will upgrade the Shireman Collection, representing 238 weighted Registry Set points, second place is a reasonable goal. Population (6/10): MS66 (6); MS66+ (1); MS67 (1).
