Lot 3487
1907 $20 St. Gaudens. High relief, flat rim. NGC graded MS-67. An absolutely superb gem specimen with immaculate satiny mint surfaces throughout.The Flat Rim variety High Relief is harder to find than the Wire Rim. An issue that needs little introduction among numismatists, this coin is at the upper end of the Superb Gem grade level. The luster flows smoothly, evenly over both sides like molten lava flowing across Hawaii's Kilauea crater pool, and so too does the gorgeous, original, yellow-gold color flow evenly. The outward appearance brightens the entire coin as the viewer tilts the coin into a light. The strike is razor-sharp for a high relief coin that was given five blows from the dies. The surfaces are undeniably smooth with no outwardly noticeable handling marks, no copper spotting, and certainly nothing that would seem to preclude an even finer grade assessment. This is one of the most beautiful High Relief Twenties that this firm has ever sold, and it is destined to find a place of honor in an advanced U.S. gold collection. This exquisite gem should stir plenty of bidder excitment. Pop 12; 5 finer, 2 in 67 star, 2 in 68, 1 in 68 star.
Estimated Value $90,000 - 100,000.
