Notes:
"Overall,
more than 29.7 million were produced by the four Mints. Still, two of the
issues - 1906-D & S - are fairly scarce."
"With only 92 mint state pieces
certified, the 1906-S is definitely a better date. It is interesting to
know that despite the substantial mintages of the branch mints, very few
nice certified AU pieces are available. Putting together a set of
certified "sliders" is an almost impossible chore."
"The 1906-P&S come well
struck, the 1906-O typically soft."1
The finest
Uncirculated examples
graded by PCGS are 2 MS-67's.
