Until a substantial hoard of uncirculated examples was discovered in Europe about twenty years ago, the 1911 was thought to be scarce in MS63 condition, and MS64 quality examples were considered moderately rare at the very least. Today, though, there are many hundreds of choice and very choice mint state 1911 double eagles available to collectors. Gems remain rare, however, certainly considerably more so than equal quality examples of the 1908 With Motto and 1910. At the superb MS66 grade level, the 1911 is very rare with perhaps 15-18 known. This specimen, however, is one of only four certified in the superb MS67 grade and is the only one so graded by PCGS. It has exceptional eye appeal with respect to color and luster and is the finest I have ever seen or handled.&quot;</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
