Attractive Choice 1907 High Relief, Wire Rim Double Eagle

1907 $20 High Relief, Wire Rim MS64 PCGS. The saga of the High Relief Saint-Gaudens double eagles forms a singular chapter in American numismatics, one that has inspired generations of collectors. Garrett and Guth (2006) supply the following observation: "Arguably the most beautiful coin ever struck for circulation, these American classics were coveted from the time of issue, and remain so to this day."
The right obverse rim shows a distinct fin on this Wire Rim near-Gem example. The butter-yellow surfaces showcase soft, pleasing luster, and the strike is bold as always for this sculptural issue. Minimally marked for the grade and housed in a prior-generation PCGS holder. A flaw at the back of the holder does not affect the coin.(Registry values: N7079)
