Description

Impressive MCMVII High Relief Twenty, PR64
Wire Rim

1907 $20 High Relief PR64 NGC. From an unknown, but undoubtedly small mintage, the proof High Relief Saint-Gaudens double eagles have intrigued numismatists since they were first discovered almost 60 years ago. The issue represents the highest achievement of the coiner's art, and examples are considered numismatic treasures by the few collectors lucky enough to possess one.

The present coin has the well known wire rim feature, with rich satiny surfaces, and an extremely sharp strike. The characteristic raised, swirling die-polishing lines are evident on both sides. The surfaces are enhanced by an attractive yellow-gold color, with just a hint of the reddish patina usually seen on High Reliefs. Overall visual appeal is outstanding. Census: 83 in 64, 71 finer (6/09).
From The Bay State Collection, Part Two.
