Saint Gaudens $20 Gold Double Eagle High Relief (MCMVII, 1907) A very popular 20th Century coin. The 1907 High Relief Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful coins ever minted in the United States. Its creation was the result of a collaboration between President Theodore Roosevelt and renowned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who sought to elevate American coinage to the artistic standards of ancient Greek and Roman coins. This specific coin is the 'Wire Edge' variety, a feature created during the minting process of the first-ever Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles. Due to the repeated pressure needed to bring up the intricate High Relief design (reportedly requiring three to five strikes), a thin, sharp rim of metal was forced up around the edge of the coin, creating a delicate 'wire edge.' This variety is a highly sought-after and definitive characteristic of these early, experimental strikes. With a low mintage and an artistic design considered to be the pinnacle of American coinage, the 1907 High Relief Double Eagle is a cornerstone for any serious collection of U.S. gold. Its historical significance. With  the visual appeal, this coin is truly a remarkable numismatic treasure.
