Lot Description

This handsome Choice example is painted in a blend of orange-gold and peach hues across each side. The fields are impressively composed, showing just a few stray marks beneath a glass and remaining uniformly frosty. Well struck for the issue and ranking within the top 25 examples certified by NGC.<p>The 1911-D Indian eagle has a mintage of just 30,100 pieces, the lowest among circulation strikes of this type excepting only the 1907 Wire Rim and 1907 Rounded Rim. One of the rarest 20th century U.S. Mint gold issues irrespective of denomination, the 1911-D is the most challenging Indian eagle to locate in the finest Mint State grades, surpassing even the 1933. The offering of a Mint State example in any grade is a noteworthy occasion that deserves attention and serious bidding from advanced 20th century gold collectors.
