Lot 2539
1907. High Relief, Roman Numerals, Flat Rim. NGC graded MS-65. While we typically offer a few representatives of this popular first-year issue each auction season, we seldom have the pleasure to list one as unspoiled as the present Gem Mint State 65. In fact, bidders who are familiar with High Relief Saint-Gaudens double eagles will see that this is an awe-inspiring example. It has richly colored, satin-like features. In fact, the finish is such that one might confuse this coin one of the Proof High Reliefs. The absence of striations in the obverse field and a little rounding of detail in a few areas confirm this coin as a business strike. They key point to remember is that the focal features are razor-sharp in detail, and neither side reveals even trivial blemishes. A coin that needs to be seen to be fully admired. Pop 66; 74 finer, 57 in 66, 12 in 67, 2 in 67 Star, 2 in 68, 1 in 68 Star.
Estimated Value $35,000 - 37,000.
