Owner Comments:

What can I say? Denver Saints just look horrible! Especially when compared with the beauty, strike and luster of their cousins from San Francisco. D-mint coins, especially in the early teens (i.e. 1909-1914), tend to have a weak strike, and very dull surfaces. So despite any technical grades, most 11-D Saints look at least as dull and lifeless as this one. Do I agree with the grade? Well, I think this one is borderline, but I probably would have graded it MS-64. Maybe someday if I get motivated I'll send this one in for a second opinion.
