Owner's Description

1906 is one of the more common dates in the series, and can be found in Gem or better with some searching at a reasonable cost. Minor Varieties: 1. Small superscript o 2. o/o superscript o, normal 6 in date 3. o/o superscript o, high 6 in date 4. 1906/906 recut date, tilted superscript o (FC) 5. All letters in "5 DE SOL" recut, "L" very large, 906 recut in date, low O in date. (FC) The first 3 are Flatt's designations. Certainly many of the coins have a large superscript o, but I can't be sure how many of those are o/o. #'s 4 and 5 are my discoveries. Availability: G-VF: Very common XF-AU: Very common 60-62: Very common 63-64: Common 65-68: Available with some searching, one supergrade MS 68 exists in a PCGS holder Population Report (Jan 2015): NGC: One in 58; Two in 62; Three in 63; Five in 64; Three in 64; One in 65; Two in 66 PCGS: One in 58, One in 63; Four in 64, Two in 65, Five in 66, One in 68 Total at both services: 28; 26 in Uncirculated; 11 in Gem of better Value Guide: 1972 Almanzar/Seppa: F: .90 VF: 1.25 XF: 2.00 Current KM: VF: 13 XF: 22.50 UNC: 36 KM raised their prices massively across the board from a few years ago. The 2009 KM had this date at 3.25 in VF, 5.50 in XF, and 12 in UNC. The old prices still reflect the current market for circs. The price for a low grade UNC should fall somewhere inbetween old and new prices, about $20. For a certified MS 64, expect to pay around $35-40, $50 for an MS 65, $60-70ish for an MS 66. The lone MS 68 could bring some serious money by type collectors.
