Lot 1810
1907 $20 St. Gaudens. High relief, wire rim. PCGS graded MS-63. A hint of light golden toning. No coin sale would be complete without at least one offering of this beautiful and prized High Relief Saint-Gaudens $20 gold piece struck in 1907. The coin is an example of the so-called Wire Rim variety, in which a "fin" of metal was forced up between the dies and the restraining collar during repeated impressions. Often 3 to 5 blows from the dies were required to strike these fully. The surviving numbers of the High Relief twenties has always been a subject of discussion, but those in better grade were obviously set aside at the time of issue and remain cherished possessions today (PCGS # 9135) .
Estimated Value $18,000 - 19,000.
