Bright MS66 1911-S Twenty

1911-S $20 MS66 PCGS. CAC. San Francisco double eagles had a respectable mintage of about three-quarter of a million coins in 1911, fewer than the total from the Denver Mint but roughly four times higher than the number of coins produced at Philadelphia. Certification totals track similarly, with fewer San Francisco coins than from Denver but more than from Philadelphia. The 1911-S is relatively plentiful compared to other Saint-Gaudens twenties. The present piece displays near-flawless surfaces with tremendous cartwheel luster and the usual fine granularity. Delightful lemon-gold color overlies each side. As related in The Coinage of Augustus Saint-Gaudens as Illustrated by the Phillip H. Morse Collection, " ... a hoard of several thousand 1911-S twenties were uncovered in Central America in 1983." Nearly 8,400 coins have been certified by both NGC and PCGS, most in grades between AU58 and MS64. Certified coin counts drop significantly at the MS65 level, but there are still over 600 coins at that grade. Only 55 coins have been certified as MS66, and only one coin higher by PCGS as MS67 (06/08).
