- Exceptional Gem 1911-S Indian Eagle
1911-S Indian Eagle. MS-65 (PCGS).
This is a radiant and fresh example with outstanding technical quality and eye appeal in a 1911-S Indian eagle. Smartly impressed surfaces are sharply defined from the rims to the centers with a full endowment of satiny mint luster. Subtle hints of powder-blue shades intermingle with the overall yellow-gold patina. Nicely untroubled across the high points and truly delightful to examine in-hand.
One of the most challenging Indian eagles to collect in all grades, the 1911-S boasts a limited mintage for the type at just 51,000 coins struck. Before the discovery of a small hoard of Uncirculated examples in Europe during the 1970s, the 1911-S was considered equally as rare as the highly regarded 1930-S. Today this issue ranks sixth in overall Mint State rarity among the 32 issues in the circulation strike Indian eagle series. It is still a scarce issue when viewed in the wider context of the 20th century gold series, Gem survivors such as this remaining rare from a condition standpoint. Only 11 coins have been certified finer by PCGS through MS-66.
