1911-S. PCGS graded MS-66 Red PQ. CAC Approved. Tied for Finest graded at PCGS. This is a popular lower mintage issue even in the finer circulated grades, but the 1911-S becomes something of a celebrity and condition rarity at the Gem Red level of where surface quality and copper brilliance makes all the difference in the world. This spectacular MS66 Red survivor offers classic visual impact when viewed for the first time; in addition to rock-solid technical quality, it offers the prospective owner a tantalizing low PCGS census (see below). Brilliant copper-red luster establishes dominance over both sides and gives nary an inch to anything even approaching criticism. Meanwhile, the sharp strike detail is its defining feature, one that characterizes most Cents of this S-mint release, we are happy to say. A blemish-free beauty which breezes through the gauntlet laid down by the grading service for MS66 grade level. Pop 13; none finer at PCGS. Boldly struck (PCGS # 2449) .
Estimated Value $16,000 - 17,000.

 
Realized $18,213
