The 1907 Saint-Gaudens High Relief Double Eagle is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful U.S. coins ever minted. Designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, this gold coin was originally intended to be struck in ultra high relief, though practical minting limitations led to a slightly modified high relief version.
The high relief version of the 1907 Saint-Gaudens $20 gold coin had a limited mintage of approximately 12,000 coins. Its intricate design and historical significance make it a centerpiece in any numismatic collection.
Depending on condition, 1907 High Relief specimens typically sell for $10,000 to $50,000, with exceptionally preserved examples commanding even higher prices.
The high-relief strike gives a deep, sculpted appearance to Liberty and the eagle.
The date is in Roman numerals (MCMVII), distinguishing it from later issues.
Authentication is essential due to the coin’s high value and prevalence of counterfeits.
