Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle
MCMVII (1907) Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. High Relief. Wire Rim. Unc Details--Edge Damage (PCGS).
A captivating example of this desirable High-Relief $20 with pale golden-wheat shades across both sides. A few old marks are noted at the lower left obverse border and above the eagle's head, but the eye appeal is exceptional. Doubling to most of the letters in AMERICA is indicative of the multiple strikes required to produce this issue. The edge features are obscured by a curious texture in most areas that certainly deserves further study. A perennially popular issue at all levels of preservation, the inclusion of a High Relief Saint-Gaudens $20 is one of the most widely recognized signs of an important numismatic cabinet.
PCGS# 9135. NGC ID: 26F2.
