1911-D Indian Eagle. MS-62 (NGC).This is a lovely and significant BU example of one of the most challenging Indian eagle issues. Brightly lustrous with a softly frosted finish from the dies, both sides also sport vivid patina in even medium gold. Sharply struck with strong visual appeal. 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.
