Beautiful AU55 1907 High Relief, Wire Rim Twenty

1907 $20 High Relief, Wire Rim AU55 PCGS. The High Relief double eagles of 1907, though ultimately impractical for commerce, were nonetheless popular with those who encountered them; their aesthetic qualities were unlike any previous coinage in the United States. Some of those pieces were kept carefully, while a handful received unintentional ill-treatment, such as being kept as a pocket-piece. While this radiant yellow-gold example shows a degree of rub on the high points, the marvelous depth and detail of the design remain intact, and the fields are minimally marked with delightful luster. The right obverse displays an intermittent wire rim.
