Frosty Gem 1911 Double Eagle

1911 $20 MS65 PCGS. The 1911 is a scarcer P-mint issue among the Saint-Gaudens double eagles; Gems are much more elusive than neophytes might believe. PCGS has certified only 33 pieces in MS65, with nine finer (12/09). It is also an issue where "cherrypicking is advised," as Bowers notes, and if so many cherrypickers can stop their hunt at this coin. Rolling cartwheel luster emanates from the frosty, mattelike surfaces, greenish-gold at the rims and orange-gold in the centers. The strike is bold, and there are no singular abrasions. A faint bit of die grease appears near the date, but it is totally undistracting.(Registry values: N4719)
