Losbeschreibung

1911 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-64+ (PCGS). Impressive and significant near-Gem Mint State quality for this low mintage, conditionally challenging issue. Luster quality is outstanding on 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 deep golden-orange color 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. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS# 9157. NGC ID: 26FJ. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
