1906. PCGS graded MS-68. PQ. The 1906 quarter eagle is not an issue that attracts great attention from type collectors. While it is a readily available date through most grades, including better Mint State designations, the 1906 yields to other dates in the Liberty quarter eagle series in terms of overall numbers and affordability. At the rare Superb Gem level, however, even this relatively plentiful issue (or any other) becomes a conditional rarity. The Registry Set collector should note that this is one of just two MS68 representatives certified by PCGS, with none finer. The strike is as sharp as one could possibly imagine, with complete definition on the central and peripheral motifs alike. Shimmering luster enlivens the immaculate yellow-gold and peach-gold surfaces with a hint of sky-blue on the reverse. Close inspection with a magnifier only confirms the initial impression of virtual perfection. It would be hard to imagine a finer piece. Pop 2; none finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 7858) . Estimated Value $25,000 - 28,000. Categories: $2.50 Liberty
