    I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

    Obviously a proof, judging by the surfaces, and I'd hazzard a guess @ 68, actually a pretty solid 68.

    MadMarty, how did you cherrypick a High Relief without a mark on it anywhere??? I guess 68.

    Link to 1907 High Relief site on PCGS.... and Marty's looks better --- MS69

    The finest Uncirculated "High Relief, Wire Edge" example graded by PCGS is a single MS-69.

    Is that just the lighting, or a large flat area on Ms. Libs chest? Since it doesn't also show the flatness on her knee that looks somewhat odd.
  • lloydmincylloydmincy Posts: 1,861 ✭
    You guys are missing it. It is no slouch. It is an ULTRA HIGH RELIEF which gives away the proof status... PCGS PR68.

    If it is Marty's, where'd he get the $3,000,000???

    almost certainly not a coin that HisMadness owns, it doesn't fit the profile for what his pictures look like!!!

    Compare the first pair of iimages, a 68 EHR double eagle experimental/pattern piece, with this last pair, an MS-69 HR double eagle. You will see that the two are from different designs. The reductions and hubs were actually made from completely different sets of models, with the HR being Saint-Gaudens' "final" version.

    It's not Poorguy, it's Mad Marty. Did he say he owns the coin? He bought the photo on Ebay would be my guess. I'll go 68 since we see it isn't the 69.
