Description
Near-Gem MCMVII Saint-Gaudens Twenty
High Relief, Wire Rim
1907 $20 High Relief, Wire Rim MS64 NGC. CAC. Widely
acknowledged as the most beautiful regular-issue U.S. coin, the
MCMVII High Relief Saint-Gaudens double eagle is always in demand
from collectors of all disciplines. Although the issue is not
difficult to locate, the limited mintage of 12,367 pieces adds to
the coin's appeal. This specimen features a wire rim or fin around
the circumference, caused by metal flow between the dies and collar
during the striking process.The present coin is a beautiful near-Gem specimen, with bright, satiny luster and remarkably clean fields. The striking details are fully brought up on the central devices, creating a grand three-dimensional effect, but some slight softness shows on the Capitol building and on the sun on the reverse. The attractive yellow-gold surfaces are free of mentionable flaws. The outstanding eye appeal is confirmed by the CAC sticker.
