Lovely 1907 High Relief, Flat Rim Double Eagle, MS64

1907 $20 High Relief, Flat Rim MS64 PCGS. According to the reference book The Coinage of Augustus Saint-Gaudens by James Halperin, Mark Van Winkle, Jon Amato, and Gregory Rohan, about 33% (the final 4,000 pieces or so) of the 12,367 1907 High Relief double eagles were of the Flat Rim variety; however, their survival rate is much lower with probably no more than 20% to 25% of the Flat Rims extant today.
The highly lustrous khaki-gold surfaces of this near-Gem display the typical boldness seen on the design features of this issue. We see, for example, crisp definition in Liberty's fingers and toes, and on the eagle's plumage. A few minor handling marks are all that we can discern that keep this lovely piece from full Gem status. (Registry values: N7079)
