Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 1379		1907. High relief. NGC graded Proof 63. Well struck and fully untoned with the expected extremely bold devices and full satin fields. The strike(s) are amazing with incredible detail and definition. This is a graet rarity in the Proof format, only a modest number have been certified as Proofs of this early and amazing issue. The Proofs were struck early on the issue with multiple strikes required to bring up the devices fully. These proofs are somewhat controversial, but NGC has certified a number of them, all struck with fuller definition and are well preserved. Only 12,367 struck and this one is memorable. Estimate Value $19,000 - 20,000 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $25,850
Lot 1380		1907. High relief, Roman numerals, wire rim. PCGS graded MS-64. CAC. PQ. A very nice example, very close to MS-65 with strong luster and well preserved surfaces. A towering example of this fabled coin, with Liberty appearing to stride right off the center into thin air, while the eagle appears to fly high above the distant fields. The medallic mastery of this design stands tall above nearly all others in the history of our mints engravers, and this design is widely regarded as our most beautiful coin ever struck. If you have been seeking an example of this famed coin, then here is one to strongly consider. Housed in an Old Green Holder. Only 11,250 struck (PCGS # 9135) Estimate Value $25,000 - UP View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1381		1907. High relief, Roman numerals, wire rim. NGC graded MS-64. CAC. PQ. This coin has a special look with fantastically smooth surfaces, mark free in appearance and the expected monumental strike. As we know, each high relief $20 was struck four to seven times, in order to bring up Augustus Saint-Gaudens majestic design. The end result is what you see here, arguably America's most beautiful coin. While these high relief coins survived in mint state grades, most of the examples seen don't have the complete depth seen here and lack the glorious quality of the surfaces present. A wonderful example that looks like a special strike. Make sure to view and study this coin before the sale, as the appearance of the strike and surfaces really set this one apart from the others seen of this issue. Always in demand and a regal jewel just waiting to be enjoyed. Only 12,367 struck. Estimate Value $20,000 - UP View details and enlarged photos	Realized $29,375
Lot 1382		1907. High relief, Roman numerals. PCGS graded MS-62. CAC. A nice frosty coin with gleeming luster and the expected bold strike. The surfaces are quite clean, especially for the grade assigned, and this beauty will make a handsome addition to any advanced collection. The elegant design was by the famed sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens. His concept of such a high relief coin was nearly impossible to strike up with modern coining presses, and each of these High Relief coins required four to seven strikes by the dies to bring up the central designs completely. Thus production was greatly slowed down by these multiple strikes and these were simply impracticle to produce. Today, these coins stand as one of the greatest achievements of the Mint, and are widely regarded as our most beautiful coin ever struck. Housed in an Old Green Holder. Only 11,250 struck (PCGS # 9135) Estimate Value $12,000 - 13,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $21,738
Lot 1383		1907. High relief, Roman numerals, wire rim. PCGS grade Genuine, scratch - Unc Detail. Estimate Value $3,000 - 3,500 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $9,400
Lot 1384		1907. High relief, Roman numerals, flat rim. NGC graded MS-64. The Flat Rim variety is considerably scarcer than the Wire Rim High Relief. However, these were also saved in large quantities and thus are available in most mint state grades. Finding a nice untoned example like this often requires some patience. The surfaces are elegant, with the expected strong satiny luster and fine die swirl lines scattered over the fields that are always seen on this issue. The dies were so deeply engraved that it required up to seven strikes to bring up the devices on each coin being made, so production was painfully slow. New designs in our gold coinage had not been seen in generations, so many of these were saved and well preserved. Today they stand as a testament to one mans persistence and tenacity to see his designs implemented all the while fighting terminal cancer. After a brief time, the High Relief design was reduced to a much less dramtic flat relief style which could be struck up with a single blow from the dies. Only 12,367 struck. Estimate Value $20,000 - 22,000 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $23,500
Lot 1385		1907. High relief, Roman numerals, flat rim. NGC graded MS-63. Struck up quite well right down to Liberty\s knee as well as the eagle's breast. Full satin luster and impressive quality for this highly sought-after issue. The fields, devices and rims are particularly clean and free of distracting abrasions. Note too, that the Flat Rim design represents about a third of those known with the Wire Rim making up the balance of High Relief production. The mintage noted included both styles. A nice untoned example. Only 12,367 struck. Estimate Value $16,000 - 17,000 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $19,388
