1911 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-65 (PCGS).This is a handsome coin, both sides bathed in a blend of frosty mint luster and vivid golden-orange patina. Fully struck with eye appeal to spare. 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. Even so, enough coins have been repatriated from foreign bank hoards that the collector should have little difficulty locating an example in the MS-60 to MS-64 grade range. In higher grades, however, the 1911 remains a formidable condition rarity. Exceptionally well 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.
