Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles
1911 $20 MS65 PCGS. The extraordinary quality of this Gem 1911 double eagle suggests it derives from a Central or South American cache rather than a European one. Coins exported to Latin American countries were usually left untouched in storage, whereas European banks used to trade bags frequently and with little care, subjecting the coins inside to considerable jostling. Bagmarks are unseen on this smooth Saint-Gaudens twenty. Frosty, textured orange-gold surfaces display complete design definition, and the only ticks noted appear hidden within the eagle's wing feathers. Population: 56 in 65 (7 in 65+), 14 finer (6/17).
