1911-D/D Double Eagle, MS66
Popular Cherrypickers' Variety

1911-D/D $20 FS-501 MS66 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Fox. The 1911-D Saint-Gaudens double eagle claims a substantial mintage of 846,500 pieces, split between the normal mintmark variety and the popular repunched mintmark variety, FS-501, discovered by Walter Breen in the 1950s. In a study of 400 examples of the 1911-D double eagle, Roger W. Burdette found the repunched mintmark occurred on about 15% of the coins examined. He also discovered there are actually five different repunched mintmark varieties for this date, and it is possible others exist. Currently, only FS-501 is listed in the Cherrypickers Guide.

This delightful Premium Gem exhibits sharply detailed design elements throughout, with the large D mintmark repunched left of the original position. The curve of the undertype D is plainly visible to the right of the primary mintmark. The vivid orange-gold surfaces are impeccably preserved, with no mentionable distractions. Especially vibrant mint luster enhances the terrific eye appeal. This interesting repunched mintmark example will be a welcome addition to a fine collection or Registry Set. Population: 54 in 66 (5 in 66+), 1 finer. CAC: 23 in 66, 0 finer (9/19).

David Akers (2008) Comments:
David Akers said little about the 1911-D/D in his writings, simply noting,"Many 1911-D Double Eagles have a boldly repunched mintmark."
