MCMVII 1907 High Relief $20 Flat Rim
A high grade, lightly circulated example of this widely desired sculptural issue. Rich yellow-gold surfaces show remarkable radiant cartwheel luster in the basined fields, with color and surface quality that easily matches the grade designation. Magnified study reveals only the most minor rim marks, and the fields are immaculately free of any sort of contact points or other disturbances. The face of Liberty is boldly defined, and other design elements are likewise in crisp relief. Only the slightest rubbing is visible. A truly beautiful specimen of President Theodore Roosevelt's "pet crime," an American numismatic triumph. (PCGS 9136).
