1911 $10 MS63 认证号36428791, PCGS号8868

On the 2nd of September 2024 and using my ELIKLIV microscope and Vantage 10X loupe, I examined this coin and describe it thusly. The Obverse shows 2 diagonal marks and a ding to the left of the mouth, a vertical mark below the 1st star, light scarring below the 3rd & 4th star, a short horizontal mark at the headdress across from the 4th star, 2 dings at the rim edge, 1 above the 9th & 1 above the 10th star from the left, light mark on the lower side of the headdress feather above the "E" of "LIBERTY", a light ding below the rim edge and onto the top of the feather tip to the right and at the right point of the feather just to the right of the last star from the left, 4 vertical dings at the right side rim edge just above the longest wing feathers, a ding in the lowest feather tip of the wing and another small ding just below the wing feather, I see no toning, spotting, or cloudiness. This is a nice coin with noticeably less contact marks on both sides and nicer, brighter luster than the MS62+'s. This coin is held in a PCGS Generation 6 holder used from May 2014 to October 2020.

The 1911 is a common issue, one of the easiest to obtain in the series. In fact, only the very common 1926 and 1932 are more often seen than this issue. Below gem quality, i.e. MS-64 or less, the 1911 can be located quite easily. True gems are only moderately rare and can be found with little effort. There are some spectacular, nearly perfect examples of this issue in existence.

The 1911 is always well struck and most specimens have finely granular, frosty surfaces. A few specimens, however, have very little granularity and have a satin texture. Lustre varies greatly on this issue from average (for the series) to outstanding. As is always the case, the satiny ones are more radiant than the frosty ones although many of the latter are also extremely lustrous. Color is a strong point of this issue. Light to medium orange and greenish gold is the predominant color but a number of greenish yellow examples are also known.
