Design
The obverse features the classic Coronet Liberty head facing left, wearing a tiara inscribed LIBERTY, surrounded by thirteen stars and the date 1906.

About the Grade – MS 66
NGC MS 66 is a Premium Gem Mint State designation — a full step above the MS 65 level. Coins at this grade exhibit bright, vibrant original mint luster with only the slightest imperfections under magnification. MS 66 examples are significantly scarcer than MS 65 coins and command strong collector premiums. This is a coin for the serious collector who demands the best.
About the Series
The Liberty Head Quarter Eagle series ran from 1840 to 1907, making it one of the longest-running U.S. gold designs. The 1906 Philadelphia issue represents one of the final years of this beloved series, struck just one year before the design was retired. In MS 66, this coin is a truly elite survivor.
A rare opportunity to acquire a near-flawless piece of American numismatic history — ideal for advanced collectors or as a centerpiece display coin.
