Another fine example, this has a thin wire-edge around the wide flat border. Such an edge was caused by metal being squeezed into the junction of the coinage die and collar. Mintage of the High Relief coins totaled 11,250 struck in November and December, 1907. Wire-edge examples are much more common than those with flat rim, with an approximate three to one ratio.
