PCGS CoinFacts: 1906-S Peso
Why is the 1906-S Peso so rare?
According to author Lyman Allen, "At the time, nearly all 1906-S Pesos were held back for use due to the high silver content and the rapidly rising price of silver. Most of those held by the treasury, along with earlier dates, were exported to the U.S. for re-coinage into the reduced size and weight pieces which followed in 1907."
From this, we gather that most of the 1906-S Pesos were destroyed and that those that survive today somehow made their way into circulation and numismatic collections. The lack of Gem examples of this date confirms this theory. In fact, the finest certified examples known today top out at only MS62 recoinage.
