1911-D/D $20 Gold MS Values
Details
The 1911-D Repunched D mintmark is a popular variety, and certainly among the most widely pursued of the Saint varieties -- perhaps not surprising given the relative paucity of widely known varieties among any of the 20th-century gold issues. While not a major variety, it is worth pursuing as its value is almost double the price of normal pieces. Astute buyers can cherrypick the variety. Doubling of the D mintmark is seen slightly to the right of the primary mintmark impression.
Obverse: Liberty is portrayed standing on a rock, holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. The word LIBERTY appears on the top periphery surrounded by stars. The date is stamped on the right side of the coin, just above the rock.
Reverse: A crescent sun appears at the bottom as if rising on the horizon with long rays extending to the top of the coin. A flying eagle covers the central portion, atop the rays. The words UNITED STATES oF AMERICA, TWENTY DOLLARS appear on the top periphery.
