Due to their high relief, however, the coins toppled over when placed in the teller trays.  Minting ceased and a "flat relief" was created.  Due to the scarcity of these coins, they are now considered highly collectible!In American Numismatic Rarities, LLC's The Classic Sale (July 25, 2003), this coin sold at auctin for $9,200.00.  They have only increased in value since that time.This is a stunning coin and a definite must-have for any coin collector!Design Specifications Designer:      Augustus Saint-Gaudens Gross Weight:      33.346 grams Net Weight:      .96750 oz. pure gold Composition:      .900 gold, .100 copper Diameter:      34 mm, reeded edge.I will ship this coin free of charge and will send it UPS Next Day Air.  I will accept Paypal for this purchase.  Serious inquiries only, please.
