Popular High Relief, Wire Rim 1907
Saint-Gaudens Twenty, MS62

1907 $20 High Relief, Wire Rim MS62 PCGS. One of the most enduringly popular designs of the 20th century, the High Relief version of the Saint-Gaudens double eagle has been prized since its striking, not only as a coin but as a work of art. Offered here is an MS62 example of this famous issue with a prominent wire rim around the obverse. The collector should not be concerned about the grade, since actual marks are few; a handful of tiny flaws are visible on each side, and a diagonal abrasion touches Liberty's trailing hair, but the overall eye appeal is strong, aided by bright lemon-gold luster.(Registry values: N4719)
