1911-D Weak D $2.50 Gold MS Values
Details
The Weak D variety of the 1911-D is often sought by budget-minded collectors as an affordable alternative to the so-callee Strong D reverse. The weak D coins have the faintest appearance of the mintmark on the reverse, lower-left. It must be visible but will lack the three-dimensionality of its better-struck cousin.
Obverse: The obverse features the portrait of a Native American chieftain in formal headdress struck incuse with the words LIBERTY at the top and the date at the bottom. 13 stars frame the left and right sides: 6 at left and 7 on the right.
Reverse: The traditional American eagle struck incuse in the center with the words, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA at top, E PLURIBUS UNUM left of the eagle, and IN GOD WE TRUST to the right of the eagle. The denomination 2 1/2 DOLLARS struck below the eagle.
