Description

Condition Census 1911-D/D Twenty, FS-501, MS66
One of the Finest Certified Varieties at PCGS

1911-D/D $20 MS66 PCGS. CAC. FS-501. Repunched Mintmark. For a series of which so many millions of coins were originally produced, there are few widely collected error or variety coins in the Saint-Gaudens double eagle series. This is likely a function of a couple of reasons: First, most of the survivors were melted during the Gold Recall of 1933; second, the series is so difficult even for nonvariety coins that the few recognized varieties take on diminished importance. Nonetheless, the 1909/8 overdate and the 1911-D/D are the most widely known, of which only the former has so far attained a Guide Book listing. Both are listed in Cherrypickers', along with four other Saint-Gaudens varieties.
This 1911-D/D in MS66 is one of the top nine examples certified at PCGS, and there are none finer. It is also certified as 1911-D/D RPM FS-501 using PCGS' new six-digit variety number (145010), ready to pop into your Registry Set if you so choose. This is a simply stunning Saint-Gaudens twenty, regardless of the variety. Flashy luster radiates from the reddish-orange surfaces, and the repunching to the east on the mintmark is as bold as the strike is throughout. Abrasions of any size are few and far between.
