If like to own the 1911 D as an investment coin but I always have the issue of what If I wanted to sell it how would I unload it?
But I can freely offer the advice of if your going to buy one the best time to get it is right after Christmas when there's virtually no numismatic money flowing through the market place.

I have all but the 1911-D. None of them are certified, and I've been wondering if I should bite the bullet and send them to one of the top TPG's. I would appreciate any advice from those more in the know on gold pieces. Thanks. |

Hey grr691 - I think it depends on how nice they are. No real sense in sending common circs to TPG. |

I don't see the 1911D as being that great a problem. There are coins like 1916 LSQ that in just good condition are the same value as 1911 Indian. If you just stay on course and complete the collection except for the 1911D you can save up and get it. I am sure you can do it. I might just collect this incredible coin myself and I will get the 1911D if it is available.

Having put together several sets of these, the 1911-d value has gone done quite a bit in the last few years, so might be a good time to pick one up -- be sure you do NOT buy a "weak D". Also the 1914 is very under-rated, and under-priced in my opinion, so if you see a nice example try to buy it.

Those are fabulous coins. Gold prices are down and if you compare this set to the half eagle Indian Head the quarter eagle is much cheaper to collect. How much did the AU examples of the indian head cost you? The 1927 is jumping off the page.

Going on memory...the AU examples were between $275-$290. I know I have a AU55 1915 on the way and I paid $275 for.
What would be a decent price for a 1914 AU example graded by either NGC or PCGS?

Maybe $375. You know I see price for the 1911D Strong D in VF condition $2350. That is expensive, but doable compared to other gold eagles. All the coins are scarce and have low mintage and you can get average coin in EF for less than $300. The only coin I would send for grading would be the 1911D. I think they look better in the Capital coin holder. Then you should put them in a safe deposit box. A thief would go wild over those coins or a home invader.

Connor - Thanks for these great pics. But let me say, you will enjoy owning the 11D more than all the rest of them put together.

Wonderful pictures of enviable coins and very good advise on the collecting of that series. I myself like NGC best for the gold, not only because I do appreciate the very close range they grade within, but also because I simply like the look of the gold against the white.

I am sure I will end up with the 11d one day...it just may be a while. I have decided the next one in this series I am going to go after is the 1914 Indian.
I agree that gold in NGC slabs looks very nice.
