1911 Double Eagle, MS65+
Well-Preserved, Lustrous Surfaces

1911 $20 MS65+ PCGS. A modest mintage of 197,250 business-strike Saint-Gaudens double eagles was accomplished at the Philadelphia Mint in 1911, with coins produced on January 17 and from April 25 to May 1. Most of the coins were eventually sent to Europe, and the typical survivor shows the effects of coin-to-coin contact during shipping and repeated counting and repackaging. Most examples seen are in low-to-mid Uncirculated grades and the 1911 is very scarce at the Gem level.

This Plus-graded Gem offers well-detailed design elements and well-preserved orange-gold surfaces. A few minor contact marks on the sun are the only mentionable flaws .The surfaces radiate vibrant mint luster and eye appeal is outstanding. Population: 46 in 65 (3 in 65+), 13 finer (6/16).
