My newest little lady...

Well, here she is, I had to attach a photo since my ftp is acting up tonight. Reverse to follow.

[jtryka]

Here's the reverse.

The reverse looks truly stunning in that the upper half of the fields are so clean and the eagle looks exceptionally clean, too. Is there a cluster of marks or a single milling mark on the obverse near nine o'clock?

[darktone]

Very nice Jeff! I see the area that Tom mentioned I thought it looked like a die crack. mike

[jtryka]

On the obverse, it appears to be a group of marks, but it's difficult to say whether or not they were made before or after striking. Denver had to be the absolute worst mint for Saints, especially in 1910 and 1911. Most are poorly struck and have little luster, just overall mediocre looking coins despite ASG's finest effort on the design.

I don't think I've seen a reverse that nice before! Truly a stunning eagle.

 

Probably one of my favorite coins of all time...

It that an '11-D Saint? Nice coin!

Pretty nice coin. 11-D Saint are certainly not rare but you are right about Denver. If the 11-D $5 or $10 are any indication they just flat out blew when it came to making lusterous coins. They should have fired their production manager....it's his fault I can't find a decent 11-D $5 today. insufficiently_thoughtful_person!

Yes Oldtrader, it is indeed an 11-D.
