MCMVII (1907) Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. High Relief. Wire Rim. MS-64 (PCGS). A visually impressive specimen from this iconic High-Relief issue. The surfaces display uniform golden-wheat coloration and remain free of any distractions. Sharply struck with a distinct wire "fin" along the right obverse, the fields are blanketed by a rich, satiny texture courtesy of swirling die polish. Over a long period of years various surveys in the numismatic field have ranked this as the most beautiful of all circulating U.S. coinage designs. We estimate that perhaps 6,000 are known, or about half the mintage, as these were appreciated in their own time and many were saved. The popularity of this issue endures, and today the ownership of a Mint State High Relief double eagle, as here, is a mark of a significant numismatic holding. From the Naples Bay Collection.
