1911-S Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-66 (PCGS).
Billowy mint frost mingles with warm golden-apricot patina on both sides of this sharply struck, expertly preserved example. Sure to please even the most discerning numismatist. The 1911-S is one of the more readily obtainable Saint-Gaudens double eagles from the San Francisco Mint, ranking 34th among the 53 circulation strike issues in this series in terms of total number of Mint State coins extant. Most examples in numismatic and investor circles have been repatriated from foreign bank hoards in recent decades. Despite their prodigious numbers, survivors are seldom encountered in grades above MS-65, confirming the conditionally rare status of this upper end Gem.
PCGS# 9159. NGC ID: 26FL.
PCGS Population: 54; 4 finer (MS-67 finest).
