1906-D Barber Half, Spectacular MS67
Sole Finest Certified

1906-D 50C MS67 PCGS. CAC. The surfaces of this remarkable Superb Gem are finer than one would expect, even for this coveted grade, with virtually no signs of contact to be found. Majestic toning ranges from fiery sunset-gold around the obverse periphery to pastel blue and mint-green over the central regions. The colors are more intense on the reverse, with vibrant russet-gold that shows a few splashes of blue and antique silver intermixed. The strike is quite sharp, showing no softness on the obverse star centers nor on the reverse arrow feathers, but with a trifle of weakness on the upper-right corner of the shield, as usual.

The 1906-D is a very rare date in Gem and finer condition, confirmed by the NGC and PCGS population reports. This coin ranks as the sole finest of the issue at both services combined (9/15), being finer than both the Price and Eliasberg coins. A truly outstanding condition rarity, essential for a high-ranking Registry Set of Barber halves.
