Lot 1398
1911-D. NGC graded MS-63. Well struck with a hint of golden toning. Popular Key date and always in demand. A beautiful coin that boasts vivid gold originality and is well struck on all but the uppermost wing tip of the eagle. The key date to the series, which has long been collected as one of the few gold sets any collector can hope to complete without investing an entire fortune. Pratt's "recessed relief" design was a departure from any coins made for circulation previously, and many were shocked by it. However, the objections were overcome and these intriguingly designed quarter eagles and half eagles remain extremely popular with today's collectors. A triumph for the date collector to purchase, as this piece looks to be at the high end of its grade category (PCGS # 7943) .
Estimated Value $14,000 - 15,000.
