Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle

1911 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-64+ (NGC). CAC.

Impressive and significant near-Gem Mint State quality for this low mintage, conditionally challenging issue. Luster quality is outstanding ion this 1911 twenty, both sides with a lively frosty finish from the dies. Those same dies imparted razor sharp to full definition throughout the design. Handsome bright gold patina throughout, with remarkably smooth surfaces. Produced to the extent of just 197,250 circulation strikes, the 1911 is one of the scarcest early date issues in the Saint-Gaudens double eagle series. Most Uncirculated survivors grade no finer than MS-64, and many have inferior eye appeal due to subdued lackluster surfaces. Exceptionally well produced and preserved, this delightful piece would serve as a highlight in an advanced double eagle set or larger collection of classic U.S. Mint gold coinage.

PCGS# 9157. NGC ID: 26FJ.
