Choice 1907 High Relief, Wire Rim Double Eagle

1907 $20 High Relief, Wire Rim MS64 NGC. Like many others, Garrett and Guth lauded the High Relief double eagles in their Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins. For the Wire Rim pieces, they began: "Aside from the handful of coins that show the Ultra High Relief, these represent the closest obtainable coin to Augustus Saint-Gaudens's conception of the design. None other than Teddy Roosevelt demanded a change in our national coinage, and sought out one of the most talented artists of the era ... "
The rest is familiar history, as exemplified by this attractive near-Gem. The butter-yellow fields are luminous and slightly hazy, and the figures of Liberty and the eagle project boldly. Pleasingly preserved and undeniably attractive, an excellent example for the double eagle enthusiast.(Registry values: N7079)
