An impressive looking GEM example of this popular 20th century gold type. Augustus St. Gauden's Indian Head type is one of the most elegant, beautiful of all gold design types and the present 1911 shows off the No Periods, With Motto type in its full glory. A shimmering, brilliant, satiny mint frost glows boldly throughout the rich yellow-gold tone. Every detail is struck up to its finest advantage, with full details in the headdress and eagle feather details. The surfaces are generally clean and problem free; only with the aid of a strong glass does a tiny tick come into focus explaining the assigned grade. The 1911 is not a major rarity, but it is quite scarce in MS66, and VERY RARE any finer. PCGS 35, NGC 42, CAC 17. There have been 8 thus graded at PCGS in the MS66+ grade, with just 13 graded finer. We sold two examples in October 2020 for $19,975 and $18,213. Prior to that, this coin sold in June 2018 for $18,800. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $22,500. Very rare any finer, the Crow River MS67 CAC sold in our October 2017 Regency Auction for $47,000. Whether putting away GEM gold or building a complete GEM set of Indian Head tens, this is your coin and will see strong bidding. Good luck. Cert. Number 90018671 PCGS # 8868.00
