Wonderful 1911 Double Eagle, MS66

1911 $20 MS66 PCGS. The 1911 began a short run of low Philadelphia mintages that ended in 1915. No double eagles at all were struck at Philadelphia between 1916 and 1919, since World War I interfered with the exchange of foreign goods for gold coin. For the 1911 issue, fewer than 200,000 pieces were produced.
Given the low mintage and indifferent storage of the 1911, it is not surprising that very few Premium Gems have survived. The present olive-gold example is strongly lustrous and beautifully preserved, with an exacting strike on both the Capitol building and Liberty's fingers. Only the centers of a couple of letters in OF AMERICA exhibit any sign of weakness. A marvelous example, tied for the finest certified by PCGS (11/07).
