The 1907 $20 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle, High Relief, Flat Edge, represents a pinnacle of American numismatic artistry. Designed by renowned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens at the behest of President Theodore Roosevelt, it debuted as the first in a series of gold coins meant to evoke ancient Greek masterpieces. The obverse depicts Liberty striding forward with a torch and olive branch, while the reverse features a soaring eagle against a radiant sunburst. Struck in high relief for a sculptural depth, this issue initiated an era of artistic renaissance in U.S. coinage.
PCGS has graded 154 of the Flat Edge as MS63 with 497 finer. In CAC, there are 43 in MS63 with 119 finer.
Fewer examples of the Flat Edge were produced than the Wire Edge variety, making it scarcer and more coveted among collectors. PCGS MS-63 grading indicates uncirculated condition with moderate wear, retaining sharp details and original luster that highlight Saint-Gaudens' genius. Valued for its historical significance and beauty, it remains a cornerstone for type set collectors, blending investment potential with aesthetic allure.
