<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 25970586, member: 101855&quot;]The top piece has to be this one, one the MCMVII High Relief $20 gold. It&#039;s the world&#039;s most expensive fairly common coin. It&#039;s also one of the most beautiful coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1652362[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The second would be this one, the 2009 Ultra High Releif &quot;mint creation.&quot; Collectors were disappointed with this piece because it was the diameter of a $10 gold piece, not the size of the original coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>After I saw the original example of this at the Smithsonian Institute, I had a greater appreciation of the piece. It is a copy of the 20 experimental strikes which were done on a planchet with the diameter of a $10 gold with double the thickness. None of the 1907 pieces were made available to the public. All were melted, except the two in the Smithsonian. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have a better one which is in a MS-70 holder. This one has die polish marks which prompted me to sell it. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1652378[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Third would be this 1907 low relief double eagle which competes the circle with the first piece. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1652379[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
