1911. PCGS graded MS-65. A very scarce date as a Gem. Rich peach-golden toning overlays each side with traces of sky-blue at selected border areas. Satiny metal flow enhances the billowing mint frost giving the coin a shimmering, highly impressive appearance. The original mint brilliance is only interrupted by an occasional hint that it is anything but perfect. In many ways, the strike is almost more important than the mint bloom on a 1911 Philly Mint double eagle. Sheer boldness of strike furnishes us another positive attribute and something for bidders to appreciate and ponder. This will be a treat simply to view this lot, the new owner will truly have a prize. Pop 42; 12 finer, 1 in 65+, 8 in 66, 2 in 66+, 1 in 67. (PCGS # 9157) . Estimated Value $15,000 - 16,000. Categories: $20 St. Gaudens
