<B>1911 $20 MS66 PCGS.</B></I> The 1911 began a short run of low Philadelphia mintages that ended in 1915. No double eagles at all were struck at Philadelphia between 1916 and 1919, since World War I interfered with the exchange of foreign goods for gold coin. For the 1911 issue, fewer than 200,000 pieces were produced.<BR> Given the low mintage and indifferent storage of the 1911, it is not surprising that very few Premium Gems have survived. The present olive-gold example is strongly lustrous and beautifully preserved, with an exacting strike on both the Capitol building and Liberty's fingers. Only the centers of a couple of letters in OF AMERICA exhibit any sign of weakness. A marvelous example, tied for the finest certified by PCGS (11/07).<BR><I>From The Jacob Collection of Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Augustus Saint-Gaudens<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
