1911 $20 MS65 PCGS While perhaps considered scarce in lower grades despite a modest mintage of 197,250 pieces at this towering grade level, these are true condition rarities. The surfaces are far finer than usually seen on a 1911 double eagle, as these tend to come baggy with numerous nicks and cuts from normal shipping. Here is a solid exception to that rule, with the surfaces satin smooth, free of all but minor nicks and showing delicate olive-gold to yellow-gold hues throughout. The strike is bold, and the eye appeal strong. Rare at the Gem level and prohibitive any finer. Population: 39 in 65, only 11 are finer. (PCGS 9157)
