Near-Gem 1907 High Relief Twenty
Popular Wire Rim Subtype

1907 $20 High Relief, Wire Rim MS64 PCGS. Aspects of numismatics are subject to re-evaluation, sometimes over the years, other times almost immediately. It is uncertain exactly when collectors broke from the Mint's thinking that the wire rim on certain High Relief 1907 Saint-Gaudens twenties was a defect; certainly such thoughts are in the minority today, and the Wire Rim pieces are recognized as a distinct and popular subtype. Wire Rim or no, this is simply a gorgeous High Relief twenty, lightly patinated yellow-gold with wondrous sculptural detail. The fields are remarkably smooth with only a few shallow, though ultimately grade-defining disturbances.(Registry values: N7079)
