1911-D is, from what I understand is "rare" and can fetch a higher price then what the BIN is for, BUT, I do not think it is real..

Probably real, but as said in the description, it's been polished.

Wow the responses here are incredibly fast. It is also a weak d variety with the polishing I think that explains the price.

I'd be happier seeing this in a NCS or ANACS holder.

Really can't tell from those pictures but many fakes are polished to cover up poor quality. mike

"many 1911-D coins show little or no trace of the mint mark"

Seems to me that if a coin "show...no trace of the mint mark" it, in fact, doesn't have a mint mark.

The seller www.jetproofs.com I've found to be very reliable. I met them at the Austin show this past week-end. Also, they keep their website updated!

"weak D" the 1911 D is worth a premum over any other date 2.5 indian so this could be a real 1911 with a fake D on it

mr1931S · June 30, 2004 9:55AM

The seller says that there are diagnostics to identify real from fake 11 D, even those with weak mint mark. This one could easily be genuine. That tiny D would be real tough to get on there neatly and properly. Besides, why wouldn't one "make" this coin with a strong D?

I lean towards "genuine" based on what I can see in the pictures but would ask the seller to extend his "guarantee" so that I would have the time necessary to get a third party opinion of authenticity.

just looks cleaned. Hard to tell exactly from the pics.
