The 1906-S Barber Dime is a scarce issue that commands the highest premium among all 1906-dated dimes, with Mint State examples available, though true Gem and Superb Gem specimens remain exceptionally rare. This SUPERB GEM tied for the finest known at PCGS exhibits pristine surfaces virtually free of noticeable marks or abrasions. The razor-sharp strike ensures that Liberty’s laurel wreath and facial features are crisply detailed, while the reverse wreath is equally well-defined, contributing to the coin’s exceptional eye appeal. The toning is breathtaking, featuring an elegant interplay of iridescent blues, violets, and golden hues, further enhanced by radiant, underlying luster. The obverse showcases a captivating blend of sky blue, deep violet, and golden highlights, while a satin-like texture enhances the natural toning gradient. The reverse is equally striking, with a mesmerizing mix of gold, rose, violet, and greenish-blue hues, complemented by sharp, intricate details in the wreath and a frosted texture that underscores its remarkable preservation. As one of the finest survivors from the San Francisco Mint’s 1906 production, this condition rarity boasts an extraordinary combination of strike quality, superior luster, and stunning toning, making it a premier acquisition for advanced Barber dime collectors, registry set enthusiasts, and toned coin aficionados. With a CAC population of just one and none finer, and the last PCGS CAC auction record for $14,950 08/11 HA, this coin stands as an elite numismatic treasure whose rarity and acquisition cannot be understated.
