- MCMVII (1907) Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. High Relief. Wire Rim. VF-35 (PCGS). OGH. Splendid olive-gold surfaces are evenly worn with a soft, satin texture throughout. There are no marks or distractions of any distinction allowing for ready appreciation of this classic 20th century design. The High Relief double eagles became instant classics of American numismatics and were eagerly sought even at the time of issue. It is estimated that half of the total mintage still exists. Today, the design is frequently lauded as one of the most beautiful ever produced in the United States Mint, and it is a perennial favorite among collectors. As a mid-circulated example, this is actually scarcer than an Choice AU or Mint State piece; evidence that contemporary collectors treasured them and preserved them well. Still, this is a beautiful representative of Saint-Gaudens' artistry, and circulated type collectors should take notice. PCGS# 9135. NGC ID: 26F2. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
