Description

Outstanding 1907 High Relief Double Eagle
Wire Rim, MS64

1907 $20 High Relief, Wire Rim MS64 NGC. Roger W. Burdette (2006) reports a total mintage of 12,867 High Reliefs, including those made for the Assay Commission, but excluding any patterns. Of that number 80 were melted because they had an excessive wire rim, which results in a net distribution of 12,787 pieces. The wire rim, called a "fin" by mint officials at the time, was considered a serious flaw because it prevented the coins from being stacked properly. Most of the earlier High Reliefs feature a pronounced wire rim, while the later specimens do not.
Vibrant orange-gold patina drapes the surfaces of this carefully preserved near-Gem. The details are exquisitely defined, as one would expect. A few nearly microscopic handling marks keep this piece from being absolutely flawless. The 1907 High Relief twenties have always been incredibly popular among collectors, who often refer to them as the most beautiful American coins.
