<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 505174, member: 11521&quot;]I dropped by my local coin shop today and the dealer handed me a MCMVII (1907) St. Gaudens Double Eagle High Relief in AU-55. What a beautiful coin. I asked if I could have a Low Relief version to compare. Having the two coins side-by-side I was able to better appreciate the difference. On the High Relief version Liberty and the Eagle seem to be coming out of the coin&#039;s surface. The Low Relief, by comparison, looks flat with very little detail. I noticed this difference especially in the Eagle&#039;s wing. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you ever get a chance to hold a High Relief St. Gaudens you should do a side-by-side comparison with a Low Relief version. Like me, you may better appreciate how much of a difference there is. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Next I would like to do a side-by-side comparison between a Low Relief and an Ultra High Relief St. Gaudens.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
