Description
Exceptional Gem 1911 Saint-Gaudens $20
1911 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-65 (NGC).
Uniform frosty texture blankets the surfaces of this captivating Gem. Vivid orange-apricot coloration accents the intensely lustrous complexion. An important survivor from this underrated issue, and worthy of the strongest bids, as such. With only 197,250 pieces produced, the 1911 has one of the lowest mintages among circulation strike issue double eagles of this type. Even so, its scarcity relative to most other issues in this series is not widely recognized outside of a small group of Saint-Gaudens double eagle enthusiasts. On the other hand, enough Mint State examples have been repatriated from foreign bank hoards in recent decades that the 1911 is relatively available in grades up to and including MS-64. Beginning at the MS-65 level, however, the situation changes and the conditionally rare nature of this issue comes to the fore. As one of the finest certified examples currently available, this handsome NGC MS-65 represents an important opportunity for astute gold collectors.
PCGS# 9157. NGC ID: 26FJ.
NGC Census: 44; 20 finer (MS-67 finest).
