1906-D Barber Half Dollar. MS-65 (PCGS).
Green-gray and silver-gray patina blankets both sides of this attractive Gem with smooth surfaces and pretty multicolored toning at the peripheries. 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, Gem-quality pieces are rare.
