Certified 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle MS66 NGC

The 2009 Ultra High Relief $20 Gold Double Eagle recreates Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ celebrated high-relief design originally developed for the United States coinage of 1907. Liberty advances confidently on the obverse while holding a torch and olive branch, with the Capitol visible in the background. The reverse depicts an American eagle in flight above the rising sun. Its unusually thick planchet and deeply sculpted design produce the dramatic relief envisioned by Saint-Gaudens.
