Impressive MS64 1907 High Relief, Flat Rim Twenty

1907 $20 High Relief, Flat Rim MS64 PCGS. Although some believe that most of this first-year issue coin was saved by collectors and the general public, it was not immune to attrition. Dave Bowers explains in his Guide Book of Double Eagle Gold Coins (2004): "After the release of the [1907 High Relief twenties] the coins remained a novelty and rose in value to over $30. However, by the 1920s they were selling for only a dollar or two over face value, and many were placed into circulation. In the early 1930s probably a few thousand were turned in during the great recall of gold coins by the government." Bowers goes on to estimate that more than 5,000 examples exist today, which is less than half of the original mintage of 12,367 pieces.
This boldly struck High Relief is impressive in terms of overall quality and eye appeal. A shallow abrasion across Liberty's stomach and a minor toning spot under the eagle's thigh explain the MS64 grade.(Registry values: N7079)
