Lot 1359
1907. High relief, Roman numerals, wire rim. NGC graded MS-63. Loaded with luster. A trifle flat on the knee as often found, a little flat on the Capitol dome as well, but justifiably bold and clear everyplace else. A satiny gold gem. Supple underlying luster is enveloped in pale toning iridescence with swirls of textured surface making up the body of the fields. In all ways, it is a pleasing example of the date, with outstanding detail in Liberty and the eagle that designer Saint-Gaudens' true genius shines through. Only 11,250 pieces minted, give or take a few (accounts differ) (PCGS # 9135) .
Estimated Value $20,000 - 22,000.
