<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 901360, member: 66&quot;]The 1907 high relief was not economically feasible because it took multiple strikes to bring up the relief, possibly with re-annealing of the coin between strikes.&nbsp; This just is not practical for a coin being made for circulation.&nbsp; They need to be strikable with a single quick blow.&nbsp; The 2009 UHR being a collector coin could be struck more slowly on a higher pressure press and struck more than once if tha was needed.&nbsp; (I don&#039;t know how many strikes were used on the 2009 UHR.)&nbsp; If the 1907 High reliefs had been sold to collectors for $35 apiece rather than trying to make them as a circulation strike they would have been &quot;successful&quot; as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
