Description

Smooth Gem 1911 Saint-Gaudens Twenty

1911 $20 MS65 NGC. Those collectors who will settle for any 1911 will soon acquire one, since the issue is readily available in grades between AU58 and MS63. At the MS64 level, the 1911 becomes scarce, more so than indicated by third party service data due to unreflected resubmissions over the years. Gems are rarities, especially relative to the great collector demand for top-graded examples of this popular gold series. A Gem is especially noteworthy when it possesses the unabraded surfaces and attractive toning of the present piece. Lime-green borders surround the pale peach fields and devices. A magnifier reveals only minor incompleteness of detail on Liberty's chest and raised knee, and on the eagle's neck and breast feathers. Census: 40 in 65, 15 finer (6/10).(Registry values: N4719)
