1907 High Relief - 1907 $20.00 High Relief, Wire Rim PCGS MS63, CAC. Thought of by many as America s most beautiful coin, this Choice Mint State 1907 High Relief double eagle glows with fabulous mint luster. The surfaces are clean with no visible abrasion marks or other distractions. The strike is strong with full details on Libertys bosom, the Capitol building, and the eagles feathers. The coin is a mixture of light and dark yellow-gold, which attests to its originality. These vibrant colors, along with the mint luster, give the coin the effect of three-dimensionality that is usually reserved for a medal rather than a coin made for circulation, creating the amazing eye-appeal of this lovely piece. The CAC sticker tells us that the coin is a premium quality piece that fully merits the assigned grade.
There are two varieties, the flat rim and the knife-rim, which are also called the flat edge and the wire edge, of which the present coin is an example. The wire edge is actually a rim or flange around half or more of one or both sides of the coin. It was made when metal was squeezed between the collar and the die. Most researchers believe that the flange was made unintentionally since it caused problems in ejecting the coins as they were struck. The jealous Engraver, Charles Barber, used this characteristic as one of the reasons to remake the coin with lower relief, and he did so with the date in Arabic numbers on later 1907 coins.
Less than 7% of all PCGS and NGC graded 1907 High Relief Wire Edge double eagles have been given CAC stickers.
