Couldnt find a thread on this, which i found surprising. I just bought one and came here to see if anyone else did? Cant wait to see in person! Celebrate the fifth and final release of the Best of the Mint series with the 1907 Saint-Gaudens High Relief $20 Gold Coin and Silver Companion Medal Struck at the United States Mint facilities in West Point (gold) and Philadelphia (silver) Mintage of 15k
I love the HR Saint design - but I just picked up one of the 2009 HR coins at June's big show here, and it cost me four figures less than this one. Of course, there's also the silver medal - but that eagle seems like the opposite of dignified and respectful to me. Pass.
Agree about the medal. I'm not too keen on the HR coins produced by the mint. I bought the 2009 and wound up selling it. @jeffB. When were you crowned as a mod?
Gotta agree on the eagle, Liberty has a 70's look and the eagle has a comb over! That said, that's a beautiful chunk of gold, plus it's .999, 250 years and low mintage of 15k, I'm thinking it's a good buy, just too much for me.
