It was supposed to be at the Santa Clara expo but was not due to "logistical difficulties" but I saw it last time I went.

It's only 4.5m image

    i thought it stood for extra-high relief.. not a pedigree.

    I think (hope) Al is joking.

    Buy the best, everyone here always says, so I'll pass on this one.
    I'm holding out for a PR70.

    I'm glad they have the "Add to shopping cart" option, it makes purchasing so much more convenient.

    If I bought that coin I know that within a week somebody would fine 10 of them in an old safe deposit box in Philadelphia, and they'd all grade PCGS PR-70 CAC image

    1907 Saint Gaudens Ultra High Relief Double Eagle
    MCMVII (1907) Saint Gaudens Roman Numerals Double Eagle. Extremely high relief, sometimes called "Ultra High Relief." Proof. One of the most famous, beautiful and desirable of all American coin rarities. Born out of the cooperation of President Theodore Roosevelt and noted sculptor Augustus Saint Gaudens in their quest for a more "classical" American coinage, the coin's exceptionally high relief ultimately doomed its intended use as practical circulating coinage. Approximately 24 pieces were struck of which it's estimated that just 19-22 examples exist today.

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    That's a coin you and I can only dream about.

    Gawd! What a piece of gold!

    I'd rather own 3,000 of the MMIX copies. And I think they'll have to lower their sights, in this market.

    I saw one at the NY Federal Reserve bank. It's mounted next to the 1933 Saint; it's much nicer than the 33.
