It's been hailed as a numismatic treasure, a miniature sculpture created in solid gold. In many ways, the high relief Saints are works of art and not just coins. The 1907 date is also distinguished by the Roman numerals MCMVII in the style of classic Greek coinage. Production of the high relief required a special hydraulic coin press and up to nine strikes in order to bring up the delicate details. Sadly, the cost of production of such a high relief coin was prohibitive. No sooner had the U.S. Mint struck the first 11,250 coins than minting was halted forever. The high relief designs were lowered to permit more efficient minting and to make them easier for banks to stack and count. New dies were created and the Roman date MCMVII was changed to a traditional 1907 in Arabic numerals. Because their magnificent raised designs are so unique and they were minted for only one year, the 1907 High Relief Saint-Gaudens are highly prized by rare coin collectors. Due to their unique place in history, the 1907 High Relief is one of the most beloved gold coins of all times. Clearly, it's reserved for the astute rare coin collector who insists on owning the very finest. |
