Scarce 1911 MS66 Ten Dollar

1911 $10 MS66 NGC. The 1911 is one of the commonest issues in the Indian Head ten dollar series and one of the easiest eagles to obtain in Mint State. This can be partially attributed to the discovery of 30 to 40 Mint State coins in the early 1990s (The Coinage of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, 2006). Gems and Premium Gems are scarce, however, and higher-grade coins are quite rare.
The wheat-gold surfaces of this MS66 example are tinted with light green and a well executed strike imparts sharp detail to the design motifs. The satiny fields yield pleasing luster on both sides. Census: 51 in 66, 11 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N4719)
