David Akers states, “The 1906 is a scarce proof issue, but it is not as rare as some earlier dates in the series.”
The Philadelphia Mint slightly increased coinage of proof quarter eagles in 1906, to 160 pieces. The coins were delivered in four batches throughout the year. A single pair of dies was used to strike all the proofs. The reverse die has a lump near the bottom of the fifth vertical clear space in the shield, making it easy to distinguish between proofs and prooflike business strikes. John Dannreuther estimates the surviving population at 100-120 examples in all grades.
