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.
