The 1906 Mint Set marked the debut of the mint in Denver. The Cent and Nickel were coined only in Philadelphia, and the silver coins were struck at the four active mints; Denver, San Francisco, New Orleans and Philadelphia. No Quarters were struck in San Francisco this year however. The gold coins reflect the last full year of the old Liberty Head style. Most of the Double Eagles during this period were struck in San Francisco, so the Philadelphia issues during this period were often rather low mintage. While none of these are rare in circulated or low Mint State grades, the higher MS grades are often surprisingly rare.
