1911 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-65 (NGC).Impressive and significant Gem Mint State quality for this low mintage, conditionally challenging issue. Luster quality is outstanding in a 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 gold patina throughout, with remarkably smooth surfaces.<p>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 Gem would serve as a highlight in an advanced double eagle set or larger collection of classic U.S. Mint gold coinage.NGC Census: 43; 17 finer (MS-67 finest).
