Lot 2543
1907 $20 St. Gaudens. High relief. The coin grades VG-8. Housed in a 14 kt gold rope bezel. The coin could be removed from its custom prong mount; however, it certainly makes for a most unusual piece of conversational jewelry!
It is well known in the numismatic community that U.S. Four-dollar gold pieces, also known as Stellas, were similarly made into jewelry pieces in the 1870s and early 1880s. Perhaps a few other Saint-Gaudens High Reliefs like this exist as well, since the coin is the most spectacular design ever conceived for a U.S. coin. Definitely an item for conversation.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,500.
