1907 Gold Eagle Wire Rim With Irregular Edge Stars
We became aware of this very rare variety just recently. The Wire Edge $10 Indian is an important 20th century rarity to begin with. Uspatterns.com tells us that research by Roger Burdette indicates that true patterns for the Wire Edge (and the Rolled Edge) exist. They were struck using a hurriedly made edge collar which has two large stars at one end of the tri-partite collar. Image of edge also from Uspatterns.com. PCGS Price Guide is $240,000.
