Lot 1306
1907 $20 St. Gaudens. High relief, wire rim. PCGS graded MS-66. Well struck and lovely golden toning. A fabulous Gem quality representative of the Roman Numerals High Relief double eagle, and the most imaginative 20th Century U.S. gold design. When meeting the qualifications for the MS66 grade, a coin of this caliber must not only offer the awe-struck viewer grand eye appeal from a beautifully executed design, but must provide solid technical features, as well, from the carefully preserved surfaces. The present example is nothing short of exceptional. It is newsworthy. It is a joy to behold. In addition to the aforementioned virtues, both sides display positive, high intensity, warm-gold color. A very tiny pixie standing on everyone's shoulder is whispering into the bidder's ear: bid on me, I am the one. Pop 63; 20 finer, 16 in 67, 3 in 68, 1 in 69 (PCGS # 9135) .
Estimated Value $70,000 - 75,000.
