Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 1653		1907. High relief, Roman numerals, wire rim. NGC graded MS-63. Nearly untoned and well struck. A very popular coin with choice surfaces and the expected bold strikes which were required to bring up the incredible designs of Saint-Gaudens. The depth of the central device of Liberty and the eagle on the reverse required some six to eight strikes to fully strike up the uppermost points on each coin, making production, shall we say slow and laborious. The coiners and supervisors said enough, and soon a greatly reduced relief was adopted in late 1907 and coinage continued with a single strike required from the dies for the reduced relief coinage. However, this majestic High Relief stands as a testament to what was possible to be achieved by the determination of President Roosevelt and the designer Augustus Saint-Gaudens who pushed the Mint beyond their limits to strike these incredible works of art that remain unsurpassed in elegance and artistic merit. Estimated Value $20,000 - UP Ex The Inverness Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $21,000
Lot 1654		1907. High relief, Roman numerals, wire rim. PCGS graded AU-50. Nicely toned with sharp wire rims showing on the obverse. A few minor reverse edge nicks from long ago careless handling.
