<B>1907 $20 High Relief, Flat Rim MS64 NGC.</B></I> The surfaces of this near-Gem example are highlighted by satiny mint luster that nicely highlights the lovely, slightly greenish yellow-gold coloration. Carefully preserved for more than a century, this piece only displays a couple of faint marks that apparently kept it from a Gem holder: one on the lower left obverse field, northwest of the Capitol building, and another along the lower right obverse border area that extends just to the left of several stars. As noted by the authors of <I>The Coinage of Augustus Saint-Gaudens </B></I>(2006): "Strength of strike is a given on most High Relief twenties since they were struck multiple times with a hydraulic medal press." This coin is certainly no exception, as the details of Saint-Gaudens' beautiful design are sharply and clearly outlined on both sides. <BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Augustus Saint-Gaudens<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
