MCMVII (1907) High Relief. Wire Rim. AU-58 PCGS.
Pale olive gold with lively orange iridescence throughout. An altogether pleasing example of one of America’s most endearing design types. Designed by sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, an acquaintance of Teddy Roosevelt, this artistic endeavor is considered by many to be America’s most beautiful design ever; interestingly, Saint-Gaudens considered Longacre’s Flying Eagle cent design to be America’s finest design type. Saint-Gaudens passed away in early August, 1907, just prior to seeing his creation enacted into coinage. High “wire” fin present on the rim; PCGS has erroneously been calling this variety “wire edge” for decades now, but the edge is lettered. All that aside, if this popular scarcity is on your want-wish list, now is an outstanding time to act. You can’t beat this grade and date combination.
