Its incuse design, where the features are pressed into the coin rather than raised, made it a unique and memorable piece of American artistry. The 1911-D issue, minted in Denver, adds another layer of intrigue due to its lower mintage numbers compared to other years in the series, adding to its desirability among serious collectors.
