Lot 2581
1907 $20 St. Gaudens. High relief, Roman numerals, wire rim. ANACS graded Net MS-60. Cleaned. Some minor rim nicks. Untoned. The great relief on these coins harkens to the majestic high-relief coins of the ancient Greeks. Augustus Saint-Gaudens' intention to recreate the legendary coinage of those days succeeded better than anyone expected. Many believe that America's 1907 high relief $20 gold coinage is the most beautiful design ever conceived for a coin, here in the U.S. or around the world. Saint-Gaudens might have had humility to disagree but just the same, he was justificably honored for this marvelous design (PCGS # 9135) .
Estimated Value $9,000 - 10,000.
