MCMVII (1907) Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. High Relief. Flat Rim. AU-50 (PCGS).This is a handsome MCMVII double eagle, displaying warm honey-gold patina. The devices retain overall bold striking detail and only very light wear to the highest elements of the design. Satiny in texture with ample luster remaining, the popularity of this issue is sure to result in keen bidder interest in this more affordable, yet still technically sound and visually appealing survivor. The Flat Rim is the scarcer of the two varieties of the MCMVII High Relief double eagle, only 4,000 or so examples from a mintage of 12,367 believed to have been struck using planchets of revised diameter that prevented formation of a partial wire rim.From the Collection of Carril Valparaiso.
