<B>1907 $20 High Relief, Wire Rim MS63 NGC.</B></I> In his <I>Renaissance of American Coinage 1905-1908</B></I>, Roger Burdette quotes a letter dated November 11, 1905, that was written by Augustus Saint-Gaudens to President Roosevelt. Saint-Gaudens wrote of his willingness to go along with Roosevelt's vision for America's money, while at the same time cautioning against resistance from the Mint, noting that "the authorities on monetary requirements would I fear 'throw fits' ... if the thing were done now."<BR> Roosevelt triumphed, however, and coins such as the present piece were the result. The shining surfaces are sun-gold with splashes of orange near the devices. Both sides show excellent definition and wire rims that virtually encircle each side. A lightly marked but nonetheless delightful representative of this daring and artistic issue.<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>)
