Description

1907 High Relief, PR62
Diagnostically Correct for a Proof Strike

1907 $20 High Relief PR62 NGC. Setting aside personal beliefs about whether proof High Reliefs were struck, the fact is NGC certifies them. The key to understanding these interesting coins is learning the diagnostics common to all proofs they certify. The greatest number of characteristics are seen on the edge, transferred from Edge B-II, the same collar used on Ultra High Reliefs produced in March and April, 1907. If examination of the coin's edge is not convenient, then the faces also show common diagnostics:

  • A diagonal die crack that runs through the base of the Capitol dome.
  • Die lines that form an upside-down V, just below the base of the branch.
  • Die lines within the raised portions of all the sun's rays on the reverse.
  • Heavy die polish within the space between the eagle's wing and neck.



If these diagnostics are present, then the piece in question is a proof. This is a bright, satiny example that shows only the most insignificant signs of contact on each side. The strike, as one would expect, is complete throughout, including the tops of the letters of UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Bright yellow-gold color throughout.
