1906-D 10C AU55 认证号60021897, PCGS号4839

The first year of the Barber dime from the Denver mint and what an example to have in the set. The toning is amazing, with gold shading to apricot. This date/mint combination is suprisingly difficult in higher grades. Total PCGS AU population is only 26 with 8 in AU 55 and another 8 in AU58. The BCCS rating is R2.

In 1906, the Denver Mint came on line and began producing coins.  Among the denominations produced in that first year were Dimes, Quarter Dollars, Half Dollars, Half Eagles, Eagles, and Double Eagles.  Among this list, the Dime enjoyed the largest mintage, perhaps because it was the smallest coins and easiest to produce.  Next came the Half Dollar, whose mintage was only slightly less than that of the Dime.  After that, mintages dropped off substantially on the remaining denominations.  

The 1906-D Dime has a healthy mintage but it is still a semi-scarce date.  In typical fashion, the most common grades are MS63 and MS64.  Gems can be had for a price, but MS67 and better examples are rare and expensive.  The two best examples are the colorful PCGS MS67's illustrated above.
