Lot 2621
1907 $20 St. Gaudens. High relief, wire rim. NGC graded MS-64. Concentrated yellow gold with fantastic orange highlights and superlative luster that seemingly explodes outward from the centers. Indeed, this is one of those High Relief twenties that sums up the beauty and soul of the design forever. Rarely available to the everyday collector. In short, the present specimen is an exceptional MS64, and is one of the most beautiful of all American coin designs. (The "wire rim", actually a fin-like lip of metal that got pressed around the restraining collar, is high and sharp around much of the periphery.)
The handiwork of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, this beautiful numismatic masterpiece will live on through the ages, long after all of those reading this sale catalog are gone to the numismatic beyond. Pop 214; 81 finer.
Estimated Value $23,000 - 25,000.
