Description

1911-S Double Eagle, MS66
Only One Numerically Finer PCGS Coin

1911-S $20 MS66 PCGS. Ex: Simpson. Several thousand examples of this issue were located in Central America four decades ago. The hoard primarily consisted of lower Mint State grade coins with a few Gems. To this day, finer pieces such as this one are elusive. This Premium Gem radically departs from the normal appearance of 1911-S Saint-Gaudens double eagles. David Akers wrote: "Luster is generally only average at best and often below average for the series." However, the present piece has extraordinary luster with brilliant, frosty orange surfaces. Both sides feature sharply defined design motifs. Population: 57 in 66 (3 in 66+), 1 finer (11/22).
