Full Grade: NGC MS 66

Owner Comments:

1911, like the 1910, is a somewhat scarce later date. A few high end examples were saved, but finding an example can take some diligence. Even in circulated grades, the 1911 may not be available at any given time. Most reverses will have some reflectivity.

None of the 1911's graded at NGC list the coins as having FG/JF initials, though most all coins likely do have the FG/JF. All PCGS label carry the designation. Flatt has all coins as either FG/JF or F/J, with the later possibly coming with a re-punched "1" in the date. Position of dot under O in DINO varies. Krause lists a "plain" 1911 and an FG/JG.

The catalog gives a 10.25 price premium for the two over-letterings. This is unjustified, since most coins are FG/JF.

My coin is the second finest graded with one better at NGC in MS 67. One at PCGS in 62, two each at NGC/PCGS in 64, one in 64+ at NGC, and one each at NGC/PCGS in 65. All NGC coins are graded as 1911 only. All PCGS coins are graded as FG/JF.

This example is extremely clean, with a satin obverse, and PL reverse. It features the 1/1 in the date and is an FG/JF (not recorded on the holder). and O/O in DINO.
