Very appealing crusty original coin. Stack's Bowers.

Expert Comments

David Akers (1975/88)

The 1906 is similar in overall rarity to the 1901-S, 1902, and 1905-S. It is scarce in average uncirculated (MS-60) condition and it is very scarce in choice mint state. Gems are known, but they are definitely rare.
