Lot Description

MCMVII (1907) Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. Saint-Gaudens. High Relief. Wire Rim. EF-40 (PCGS). The beautiful Saint-Gaudens High Relief design was unfortunately short-lived, but remains eminently desirable to collectors. The present example displays even orange-gold toning with faint greenish accents. The satiny surfaces are evenly worn on the high points, and reveal a few trivial hairlines on each side from a long-ago cleaning.
