High Relief Double Eagles
1907 $20 High Relief, Wire Rim -- Rim Filing, Cleaned -- NGC Details. Unc. An assumption has to be made here that the coin actually was struck with a wire rim. It cannot be stated with certainty since the rims have been filed, so it has to be assumed there was something (like a wire rim) present to file down. The surfaces are unusually bright from cleaning with luminous yellow-gold color. A number of small, but individually insignificant contact marks are peppered across each side. The three-dimensional design of Saint-Gaudens's concept is still fully in evidence on each side.
