Hello everyone
I was visiting a coin shop recently and I come across a 1907 st. Gaudens gold coin which appeared to be a a high relief Lettered edge gold coin, now the guy was asking $1560 for the coin and he is one of the oldest coin shop in this area, can someone give me some useful information about these coins and what to look for on them to verify their authenticity
1907 saint gaudens gold coin

Re: 1907 saint gaudens gold coin
Did he have it labeled as such? I don't think he would sell a $2,500,00.00 coin for $1,500.00.
I'm going to say it has Arabic numerals, not roman numerals.
Here is a LINK to a page on this site with info. Coin Help St. Gaudens Link .
Beautiful series though.

Re: 1907 saint gaudens gold coin
No he is more like a jewelry store that buy and sell gold and silver , he has different kind of gold coin from 1800th and up all for 3-5% over melt value. And by the way does Arabic numerals has high relief?!

It's a 1907 $20 Saint Gaudens. Only type that matters the most is the wire rim and this coin is not.

Re: 1907 saint gaudens gold coin
How does edge lettering looks like on these coins?
How many stars and lines do they have?

Re: 1907 saint gaudens gold coin
That seems like a very good deal on that coin. Now not wanting to see alarming, but only for your own protection if I were you I would purchase yourself an electronic gold tester. There are some that are fairly reasonibly priced and if you make a couple of hundred dollar investment and it saves you from sepnding 1500$ it paid for itself many times over. Also, another tip is to get some magnets, rare earth magnets are small and powerful these days and a quick check of a coin or piece of gold, silver or other precious metal again could prove beneficial. But the tester is would be the best. Right now on eBay, there has be a rise of illegal sales of fake gold and silver in many forms and shapes. I would be very leary of someone selling at spot or just above. The price can change so fast. Some sell at what they bought it for and another sell at what it will take to replace it, the latter being the norm. Be sure to take a scale and know the weights if you are buying a coin. Size as well. Just stuff to think about. Your seller may be on the up and up, but if that coin is supposed to be 99.99999...% gold and it weighs light or you test it and it is 18 ct and not 24 ct you may want to steer clear of him.

Re: 1907 saint gaudens gold coin
