This rare, sought-after 1906 Barber quarter in NGC PF67 is only available for purchase in the complete 1906 proof set offered by AUCM (Indian head cent through Barber half dollar). Out of its original mintage of 675, only 206 have been graded and designated by NGC as Proof. Of those, just 24 carry the superior grade of PR67--with only 14 finer (as of 5/2021). Take a look at the images of this jewel: satiny devices and deep reflective fields like a freshwater lake are bathed with a rich palette of vibrant colors!

This 1906 proof set is perfect for the collector who desires both true rarity and beautiful toning in his or her numismatic holdings.

Its tiny mintage makes it difficult to find in the first place, however it becomes an even greater rarity in its peak grade. This piece is offered as part of an exceptional and beautiful 1906 proof set graded by NGC.
Numismatic scholar and art critic Cornelius Vermeule writes that, "The designs of Barber's coins were more attuned to the times than even he perhaps realized." Continuing, the scholar writes, "Liberty's cap, incised diadem, and wreath of laurel were designed to echo all the depth and volume of her Olympian countenance. The classical substances are offset, almost literally, by the sharply rectangular dentils of the raised rim and the strength of 13 six-pointed stars. On the [reverse] ... an equal constellation of stars ... is clustered above the eagle's shaggy, craggy profile. On both sides the simple dignity of motto, legend, and denomination binds the pictorialism into a cohesive tondo. The wealth of irregular surfaces and sharp angles is an almost electrifying aesthetic experience. ... Uncirculated [and proof] specimens [are] a pleasure to contemplate. The sculptor was unsurpassed in the mechanics of creating a durable design of monumental validity."
