Owner's Comments

High end, yellow golden skin, satin luster. Save for once light scuff, this coin would be an MS66. What a coin! Overall, the surfaces are full GEM quality and are super clean. There is one small scuff on the obverse. A bold glowing luster beams from all over. Both sides are a GEM original deeper gold with pale greenish gold highlights. There are NO discolorations or spots. Miss Liberty and the details are fully struck. The eye appeal is terrific! PCGS 70, NGC 66, CAC 19. It is a myth this date in common-especially with a CAC bean. The last PCGS MS65 CAC piece to sell in auction brought $3,593.00 04/2012. That is SEVEN long years ago! Legend CAC verified

The 1906-D is the first Half Eagle from the Denver Mint. It is very common in all grades and is easily obtained in choice condition. The small premium given to this date and the 1907-D is solely because of the two coin's popularity and not their rarity. Both are very common although the 1906-D is more rare than the 1907-D.
