CHARACTERISTICS
Obverse: Saint-Gaudens' Liberty, personified by a statuesque woman striding
powerfully forward. Liberty is leading the way with a torch in her front hand and
an olive branch in the back hand. The United States Capitol dome is also depicted
in the background.
Reverse: A young eagle flying during a sunrise is depicted on the reverse. The
motto, "E PLURIBUS UNUM" is on the edge of the coin, allowing a cleaner design
on the obverse and reverse.
What is 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin?
The 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin shows the Nation and the
world the very best the United States Mint has to offer. The 21st century vision of
the United States Mint, combined with technological advances, enabled the United
States Mint to realize the previously unattainable goal of making the coin
accessible to all Americans.
Through 21st century technology and the vision of Director Ed Moy, original SaintGaudens coin plasters were digitally mapped by the United States Mint. Using the
digital design and die-making process, the Saint-Gaudens sculpture—in Ultra High
Relief—has been updated to reflect the year 2009, an additional four stars to
represent the current 50 states, and the inscription “In God We Trust,” which was
not on the 1907 version.
Additionally, a small border was added for a more consistent edge. The 2009 coin
will be made of 24-karat gold. Pure 24-karat gold is much more malleable than 22-
karat or 90% gold coins, making it better material for striking the Ultra High
Relief.
Comment
This $20 2009 pure gold Ultra High Relief Coin was released in 2009 for
$1,700, and in 2009 the price of 1 ounce of gold was $973, giving the Ultra
High Relief Coin a 75% premium over a gold.
As of September 2024, gold price is at $2,500 an ounce, while $20 Ultra
High Relief Gold Coin price is at $3,200, reducing the premium over gold to
only 21%.
In the future, when the premium rate becomes as high as when it was first
released, $20 Ultra High Relief Gold Coin will be about $4,400, which will
increase by $1,200 or 37.5% from the current price. It is also said that the
price of gold will exceed $4,000 to $5,000 per ounce due to the instability of
the dollar, so it is no wonder that $20 Ultra High Relief Gold Coin will be
valued at over $10,000.
