1911 Double Eagle, MS65+
Conditionally Elusive

1911 $20 MS65+ PCGS. CAC. Most Uncirculated 1911 double eagles grade MS61 to MS64. The date is scarce in MS65 and rare finer. In Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles, Roger Burdette suggests that most 1911 twenties were ultimately shipped abroad to Europe sometime after the year of issue, resulting in the high population of low or midgrade Uncirculated pieces today. He further writes, "The small quantity of high-quality coins likely came from pieces paid out by the Philadelphia Mint Cashier and one or two bags that were relatively untouched after being received outside of the United States."

This Plus-designated Gem is CAC endorsed. Luster radiates through rose-gold, peach, and sun-orange surfaces, with frosty luster and no major abrasions. The strike is bold, adding to the impressive visual appeal. Population: 68 in 65 (11 in 65+), 21 finer. CAC: 15 in 65, 5 finer (7/21).(Registry values: N4719)
