Losbeschreibung

Subtle champagne-apricot iridescence visits the peripheries of this otherwise brilliant, highly attractive Gem. It shows smooth surfaces and crisply rendered motifs. Notable as the first half dollar issue struck at the newly-opened Denver Mint. The supply of Mint State survivors is about the same as subsequent Denver Mint issues up through 1911-D, and is dwarfed by the larger Mint State populations of 1912-D and 1915-D. This all suggests to us that comparatively few - if any - Mint State 1906-D half dollars were set aside as souvenirs by people living in the Denver, Colorado area. As is true of most other Barber half dollar issues, premium Gem quality pieces such as this are rare.
