Continuation of my friends $20 Double Eagle.
Ever have one of those moments where something you read kicks in a few days later and you go back and read again and realize this may actually be a high value coin? Yup.
Friend has a 1907 (roman numeral) $20 Double Eagle gold coin. This coin has the lettered edge. Lettered edge is only listed in the High Relief description, other wise RedBook lists a wire edge and a flat edge variety. If lettered edge is ONLY in the high relief version then this could very likely be a six digit value rather than a four digit value (I estimate this could be EF 40 or a bit above).
Book doesnt describe how to tell high relief from wire or flat, or am I correct lettered edge is ONLY on the high relief?
Anyone with any experience in understanding grading please help!!!
