***Auction Highlight*** 1907-p High Relief/Wire Rim Saint-Gaudens $20 Gold Double Eagle Graded ms63 details By SEGS. 1907-p High Relief, Wire Rim $20 Saint Gaudens Gold Double Eagle ms63 Details SEGS. Once the problem of the "fin" (or wire rim) had been worked out, Mint Superintendent Landis sent 10 High Reliefs to Mint Director Frank Leach, who in turn gave them to President Roosevelt. In a letter from late December 1907, Leach wrote Landis saying:"The President was greatly pleased with the sample of the lot now being struck off on the Medal press and not only "confiscated" those but wanted more. I am committed to secure some pieces for other parties, so please send me 40 pieces d.E. including the 10 you laid aside for me."These contemporary comments underscore the immense popularity of the High Relief twenties at the highest levels of government. These pieces have retained their appeal with collectors ever since. This particular example shows bright yellow-gold surfaces with a few small, insignificant contact marks scattered across each side. The "fin" or wire rim is almost complete around each side A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
