Lot Description

MCMVII (1907) Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. High Relief. Wire Rim. AU-55 (NGC). Handsome honey-gold surfaces with intermingled pinkish-rose highlights, the latter more prevalent on the obverse. Both sides are boldly to sharply defined in the absence of all but the lightest rub. Traces of original luster remain, as well, the surfaces pleasingly smooth in hand for a High Relief double eagle that acquired light wear (likely from handling on the part of an earlier owner, as these did not see active commercial use). The beauty of this design keeps demand for survivors strong at all levels of preservation, this endearing Choice AU sure to find many willing buyers in today's market. PCGS# 9135. NGC ID: 26F2.
