Description
1911-S Saint-Gaudens Twenty, MS66
Virtually Unavailable Any Finer
1911-S $20 MS66 NGC. The 1911-S double eagle is a
sought-after branch mint issue in the Saint-Gaudens series -- one
that served its primary purpose in international trade. From a
757,750-piece mintage, approximately 450,000 coins were sent to
Europe and another 250,000 coins went to South America. Not
surprisingly, few examples survive in Premium Gem Mint State. This
MS66 example is remarkable not only for its high-level
preservation, it is exceeded in grade only by a single MS67 example
and a handful of MS66+ coins at PCGS and NGC combined. Rich satiny
luster radiates across each side, with only minimal contact marks
seen under magnification. Both the obverse and the reverse motifs
display sharp definition, particularly from Liberty's facial
features to the well-defined toes. The surfaces display attractive
straw-gold color with soft, subtle greenish undertones that enhance
the coin's considerable eye appeal. Seldom encountered at this
level of preservation, this Premium Gem represents one of the few
surviving specimens in such pristine condition. Census: 56 in 66 (2
in 66+), 0 finer (9/25).(Registry values: N4719)From The LaLonde Family Collection.
