Lot Title:
|
1911-D NGC AU details/improperly cleaned.
|
|
Description:
|
Mike Wrinkle Collection. Excluding the impossible dates for the series, 1911-D is the premier semi-key for the Indian eagle series, with a paltry mintage of 30,100 mostly responsible for the lack of suitable collector examples. NGC has declared this AU example to have been "improperly cleaned", but upon first (and second) glance, the full, swooping luster and prominent details suggest a coin basically at the uncirculated level. Even close examination finds nothing but the very slightest touch of wear on a couple of feathers in the headdress and at the eagle's shoulder, though some minuscule hairlines can also be found with persistent examination. A basic MS-60 1911-D would cost about $10,000, so for the collector who wants to put together a sensibly priced set, look no further than this attractive unc-ish example. (PCGS# 008869)

1911-D NGC MS-62.
|
|
Mintage: 30,100. 69 graded MS-62, 21 higher at NGC. Although not a key to the Saint-Gaudens series, 1911-D certainly holds key status for all the other gold series, and presuming resubmissions as... |

1911-D NGC MS-62+.

1911-D PCGS AU-53.

1911-D NGC AU-53.
|
|
1911-D is obviously the well-known key to the quarter-eagle series, yet many collectors forget that it is also a semi-key in the Indian eagle series. Small increments in grade become important around... |

1911-D NGC MS-61.
|
|
As the lowest mintage regular issue from the esteemed Indian eagle series, any 1911-D is certainly worthy of note, though of course other dates suffered much higher attrition rates (namely the 1920-S... |
