Premium Gem 1911 Double Eagle

1911 $20 MS66 NGC. As Q. David Bowers writes of the 1911 in his Guide Book of Double Eagle Gold Coins, "The 1911 is one of the scarcer double eagles of the era, but, fortunately, enough nice MS-63 and MS-64 coins are in the market that you will have no trouble finding one." An MS66 coin, on the other hand, usually entails a good deal more searching. This Premium Gem offers deep yellow-gold luster with finely granular texture. The obverse shows a partial wire rim, while the reverse shows a small rim abrasion near 12 o'clock. The centers are well-preserved save for a few marks on Liberty's leg. Census: 12 in 66, 3 finer (11/09).
