Lot Title:
|
1911-D NGC MS-62+.
|
|
Description:
|
80 graded MS-62, 26 higher at NGC. A stunning victory for the consignor, this key 1911-D came out of his uncertified collection and immediately registered a grade of MS-62+ at NGC, placing it directly into the upper echelon of examples for the date. None grade higher than MS-64, and this one has the coveted "plus" that only enhances its desirability. For that matter, in reviewing the coin with a loupe, one is hard pressed to discover exactly why it did not grade fully MS-63 (at least), as neither side shows any of the obstinate hairlines that sometimes affect the issue. Only very faint linear contact marks appear on Liberty's cheek, though a single moderate bagmark shows on the eagle's wing. Opulent luster signs off on what should have been strong consideration for a "choice" grade, though bidders will be able to determine for themselves just how choice the coin truly is. (PCGS# 008869)

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 AU-53.

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... |
