November 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: Superior Gem 1911 $20 Just 5 Finer at PCGS 1911 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-66 (PCGS). Uniform matte-like texture blankets the surfaces of this captivating Gem. Faint peach coloration at the centers accents the overall sandy-gold coloration. An important survivor from this underrated issue, just 5 coins have been certified finer by PCGS. With only 197,250 pieces produced, the 1911 has one of the lowest mintages among circulation strike issues of this type. Even so, its scarcity relative to most other issues in this series is not widely recognized outside of a small group of Saint-Gaudens double eagle enthusiasts. On the other hand, enough Mint State examples have been repatriated from foreign bank hoards in recent decades that the 1911 is relatively available in grades up to and including MS-64. Beginning at the MS-65 level, however, the situation changes and the conditionally rare nature of this issue comes to the fore. As one of the finest examples that we have offered recently, this premium quality MS-66 represents an important bidding opportunity for astute gold collectors.
