Description
A Gold Double Eagle from the Denver Mint, the 1911 (D) St. Gaudens Double Eagle belongs to the St. Gaudens Double Eagles 1907-1933 series. With a mintage of 846,500, this is a less common issue — the highest mintage among 3 variants, accounting for 47% of the year's production. The obverse features Liberty striding forward holding a torch and olive branch, with rays of sunlight behind her — widely considered the most beautiful U.S. coin design and the reverse displays a flying eagle with the rising sun behind it. The 1911-D and 1911-S are accessible Denver and San Francisco dates for collectors building date sets. The Denver Mint, which grew from an 1860s gold rush assay office, has served as a major production facility since 1906. Estimated market value ranges from $4.9K to $5.0K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 33.4 grams, 34 mm in diameter, with a lettered edge. Cataloged as PCGS #9158.
