Lot 3508
1911 $20 St. Gaudens. NGC graded MS-65. A very scarce date in gem condition. A hint of light golden toning. Satiny metal flow enhances the billowing mint dazzle that emits like forked lightning from the surfaces, giving the coin a shimmering, 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 something to crow about and something for bidders to appreciate and ponder. Many who view it at lot viewing will gape in astonishment at this bright, splendid Gem. Pop 42; 14 finer (PCGS # 9157) .
Estimated Value $9,000 - 10,000.
The Dr. Robert Hesselgesser Collection.
