NumisMedia Weekly Market Report
1907 $20 Gold Ultra High Relief Brings $3.6 Million
March 1, 2021
A major blizzard can't stop a good auction platform, even if it was delayed a week. Heritage Auctions held their February Signature Sale a week later than originally scheduled because of the terrible winter storm that hit Texas and several other states; but it was well worth the wait. The sale was held at the Heritage Dallas Headquarters and as expected there were numerous rarities that attracted very competitive bidding and brought strong results.
1907 $20 Gold St. Gaudens Ultra High Relief Lettered Edge certified by NGC PR68
This is one of approximately 15 known coins from an original mintage of just 22. None of the coins were offered to the general public with most going to high ranking government officials including President Theodore Roosevelt. The coin in this sale brought $3.6 million. There are a total of 5 coins certified in this grade with only one higher in PR69. The PR69 last sold at auction in a Stack's Bowers sale back in June of 2012 for $2.82 million. This PR68 last sold at auction in a 2003 Goldberg Sale for just $1.15 million. The current NumisMedia Market value is $3.15 million and will need an adjustment.

1880 $4 Gold Coiled Hair certified by NGC PR67 Cameo
The 1880 $4 Gold Coiled Hair is one of the toughest coins to acquire in any grade. There were only 10 coins minted, and this PR67 Cameo is the highest certified by either service; it sold for $1.86 million. Interestingly, PCGS and NGC have combined to certify a total of 22 coins in non-Cameo and Cameo; this could be an indication that many coins have been resubmitted for higher grades or crossovers. Also, some of the non-Cameo pops could be coins graded prior to the services designating the Cameo descriptor. The current Market value of just $700,000 will definitely be updated.

1796 $2.5 Gold No Stars certified by NGC MS62
There were less than 1000 coins minted of this date with probably less than 125 accounted for today. There are very few Mint State coins certified with just 18 combined by PCGS and NGC. The highest grade certified is MS65 and the last auction record for that grade is $1.725 million in a 2008 Heritage Sale. This MS62 brought $276,000; the NumisMedia Market value in MS62 is $320,000, while PCGS Price Guide lists it at $900,000 and NGC Price Guide at $485,000. So, what is it really worth? $276,000, at least. More highlights from the Heritage Signature Sale are listed below.
