<B>1907 $20 High Relief, Flat Rim MS64 PCGS.</B></I> According to the reference book <I>The Coinage of Augustus Saint-Gaudens</B></I> by James Halperin, Mark Van Winkle, Jon Amato, and Gregory Rohan, about 33% (the final 4,000 pieces or so) of the 12,367 1907 High Relief double eagles were of the Flat Rim variety; however, their survival rate is much lower with probably no more than 20% to 25% of the Flat Rims extant today.<BR> The highly lustrous khaki-gold surfaces of this near-Gem display the typical boldness seen on the design features of this issue. We see, for example, crisp definition in Liberty's fingers and toes, and on the eagle's plumage. A few minor handling marks are all that we can discern that keep this lovely piece from full Gem status. <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>)
