Lot Description

Ranking 42nd of 53 circulation strike Saint-Gaudens double eagles in terms of total number of Mint State coins extant, the 1911-D is one of the more readily obtainable issues of the type in today's market. Most survivors grade no finer than MS-65, however, and even in MS-66 this issue is scarce by the standards of the type. The MS-66+ grade level is the one at which the 1911-D develops into a true condition rarity, and the offered coin represents a fleeting bidding opportunity for the high quality gold type or date collector.
