Lot 1368

1911. PCGS graded Proof 66. A superb gem matte proof specimen. Only 191 struck and this is one of the finer examples known today. Struck in the rich greenish-gold matte finish, with bright and attractive surfaces. Free of any contact marks that distract the eye and a delightful coin to represent this type or date.

The matte proof finishes were not popular with collectors at the time, but have certainly grown to be highly respected today. While the 1911 is actually one of the more available proofs -- second only the the 1908, this must be taken in a relative sense and there are certainly no more than 125 to 150 of these around today. When found in gem grades, the color and surfaces will provide hours of delight for numismatic study. Pop 15; 18 finer, 17 in 67, 1 in 68+. (PCGS # 7960) .
Estimated Value $25,000-UP.
