High Relief Double Eagles
1907 $20 High Relief, Wire Rim MS64 PCGS. CAC. The Philadelphia Inquirer of December 16, 1908 quotes President Roosevelt who spoke at an exhibition of Saint-Gaudens' work at the Corcoran Gallery of Art:
Describing the gold coins whose recent issuance by the government awakened a clamor of criticism, the President declared Saint-Gaudens "gave us for the first time a beautiful coinage, not yet properly appreciated, but up to which both the official and the popular mind will in the end grow."
This Choice Mint State High Relief double eagle is a lovely example of the beautiful coinage that Roosevelt discussed. This piece has pleasing surfaces and satiny yellow-gold luster with especially strong design motifs. The surfaces are pristine and the eye appeal is especially good.
From The Siegel Collection.
