Description du lot

A frosty beauty with a crisp strike, boldly active cartwheel luster, and a wisp of pale champagne iridescence. Not particularly elusive in lower grades - some 1.74 million-plus pieces were struck - but at the Gem Mint State level, the 1906-S commands respect among knowledgeable Barber half dollar enthusiasts. The present piece is among the half dozen finest examples of the issue certified by NGC. Absolutely worthy of the assigned grade, and also worthy of strong bids.
