1911-S Indian Eagle. MS-63 (PCGS).Lovely and significant Choice Uncirculated quality for this leading condition rarity in the Indian eagle series. Frosty golden-rose surfaces are boldly to sharply struck with superior surface preservation for an issue that is typically offered in worn condition. One of the lowest mintage Indian eagles, the 1911-S was produced to the extent of just 51,000 pieces. Once considered comparable to the key date 1930-S in terms of overall rarity, the 1909-S received a boost to its Mint State population thanks to a small hoard located in Europe during the 1970s. Even so, this issue still numbers among the 10 rarest of its type in Uncirculated preservation, the present offering representing a fleeting bidding opportunity for the astute gold enthusiast.From the Fairmont Collection.
