Description du lot

MCMVII (1907) Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. High Relief. Wire Rim. AU-50 (NGC). Inasmuch as this issue did not circulated to an appreciable extent (if at all), this lightly worn survivor probably represents a coin that was kept as a pocket piece for some period of time. Overall light wear is noted, but not enough to prevent us from describing the major devices as boldly defined. Rich-looking color in a dominant khaki-gold shade, glints of more vivid copper-rose iridescence outline many of the devices. Wispy abrasions do not include any individually mentionable handling marks.
