1907 $20 High Relief, Wire Rim--Improperly Cleaned--NCS. Unc Details. The numismatic market today probably makes too much distinction between the Wire Rim and Flat Rim variants of the High Relief, although the coins themselves are far less clear-cut; most examples of both kinds show characteristics of the other. And both kinds are among the most popular U.S. type coins of all time, showing the genius of their designer to full advantage.
This Wire Rim example shows no trace of wear, although the patinated yellow-orange surfaces have the brightness of a cleaned coin. Nonetheless, the sculptural qualities of the design win out, and this is a minimally abraded survivor that retains considerable appeal for collectors.
