1907 High Relief Twenty, PR61
Easily Seen Diagnostics

1907 $20 High Relief PR61 NGC. The differentiation between proof and circulation strike High Reliefs can be a challenge to visually discern. Proofs have a more satiny luster, but that is a matter of degree because all High Reliefs display a satiny finish. The easier way to tell if a High Relief is a proof is by looking for die characteristics common to the one pair of dies used and the one collar used -- both dies and collar were used in the production of some Ultra High Reliefs.

The upside-down Y-shaped die scratches below the branch and the diagonal die crack through the Capitol are the most easily visible diagnostics, easily seen on this example. The surfaces do display the pronounced satiny texture this issue is well known for. A few minor contact marks explain the grade.
