<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tcore, post: 117606, member: 2949&quot;]Well, lately I&#039;ve come around to see what so many of you say...the St. Gaudens Double Eagle is a beautiful coin. :bow: The high relief versions, in particular, are standouts and real works of art. So, I have a question about edge varieties. There&#039;s the Wire Edge and the Flat Edge for the High Relief coins. Please see the attached picture and look at about the 4 or 5 o&#039;clock location. This is a picture of a &quot;Wire Edge&quot; (Rim) variety. Is the distinction between the Wire and Flat edges only in the area that I have marked in <span style="color: red">red,</span> or is there something different about the whole area that I&#039;ve marked in <span style="color: lime">green</span>? I&#039;m thinking it&#039;s just the red area where it looks almost like the edge of the coin is curled up. Is this the only difference between flat edge and wire edge...that the wire edge has this little curled up part, or am I missing something else in the larger green area?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Not that I&#039;ll ever be able to afford one of these, but one can aspire.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
