1911-D Quarter Eagle, MS65
A Rare Gem Offering
Rarer Still With CAC Endorsement

1911-D $2 1/2 MS65 NGC. CAC. The 1911-D quarter eagle is among the most famous 20th century key issues. High-grade examples are scarce, and the market value of these pieces increases substantially between numeric levels. These factors combine to make the 1911-D a favorite upgrade attempt by financially interested parties. We believe that such resubmissions artificially inflate the certified population, particularly in MS64 and MS65. NGC and PCGS combined report slightly more than 100 Gem representatives, but in more than two decades of high-profile auctions, we have handled an MS65 on only 30 occasions, including duplicate appearances by some coins.

This luminous yellow-gold Gem is CAC-endorsed, something of which only a handful of its peers can boast. We have not offered a CAC-approved Gem since our 2014 FUN Signature sale, when an NGC piece realized $70,500. We feel the present coin is worthy of a comparably strong bid, considering its exceptional quality of strike and preservation, along with warm honey-gold luster. The mintmark is sharp and clear, and there are no obtrusive imperfections on the surfaces. Census: 79 in 65 (3 in 65+, 1 in 65 ★ ), 2 finer. CAC: 8 in 65, 1 finer (10/17).
