High Relief Double Eagles
1907 $20 High Relief, Flat Rim -- Obverse Scratched -- NGC Details. Unc. This is a fully struck Flat Rim coin with satiny yellow-gold luster and immediate eye appeal. Several faint, hair-thin scratches in the right obverse field prevent a numeric grade but have little impact on the unaided eye. The High Relief Saint-Gaudens double eagle is among the most sought-after 20th century gold issues from the United States Mint. Its degree of aesthetic appeal and classical symbolism surpassed all other coinage of its day, and even in modern times has not been surpassed by a circulating issue.
