<B>1907 $20 High Relief, Wire Rim AU58 PCGS.</B></I> At first glance, this apricot-gold High Relief twenty appears to be Mint State, since unencumbered satin luster sweeps the impressively unabraded surfaces. Further study finds a hint of wear on the leading edge of the front wing, and a whisper of friction on Liberty's chest and raised knee. Nonetheless, this slight wear fails to reduce the formidable eye appeal. Ever since the High Relief double eagle was first produced, advanced collectors have competed for examples, since the issue is the drawing line between the staid designs of the father-and-son Barbers and the fresh depictions of Liberty by Augustus Saint-Gaudens and his disciples.<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>)
