Lot Description

1906-O Barber Quarter. MS-65+ (NGC). This vividly toned Gem combines a cobalt blue, rose and orange-gold obverse with a more reserved pinkish-rose reverse. Both sides are sharply struck with smooth, lustrous features. The commencement of coinage operations at the Denver Mint that year may have resulted in a slight decrease in commercial need for the 1906-O coins. For whatever reason, a greater number of Mint State coins survived. Mint State survivors of the 1906-O are still scarce however, as the vast majority of coins saw extensive commercial use. Among the finer certified, this premium quality Gem is rare from a condition standpoint and would serve as a highlight in an advanced collection. NGC Census: 2; 14 finer (MS-68 finest). PCGS# 5644.
