Description

PCGS 1911-S MS 66. In the series of ten-dollar Indians, the 1911-S is considered one of the premier rarities. Even after the appearance of a small hoard of 40-50 pieces in the late 1970s, this did not materially affect the availability of high grade examples. This is one of only two pieces to have been so graded by PCGS and as such stands as tied for finest known honors. The fine grain matte-like surfaces show a thick mint frost and this piece, unlike the other 66 we sold in April, has pronounced deep reddish-orange color. Minimally abraded, this is a rare opportunity to acquire this key date in unimprovable condition.
