2009 Ultra-High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin
This beautiful gold coin is a production based off the 1907 Extremely High Relief Double Eagle.
The image on the Ultra-High Relief Double Eagle gold coin was designed by noted sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who originally had intended the double eagle to be struck with a very high relief.
However, production capabilities in the early 1900s would not accommodate mass production of a coin with a relief as high as Saint-Gaudens had desired. Thus, Double Eagles with lower relief designs were produced.
The 2009 Ultra-High Relief Double Eagle coin includes one ounce of 24 karat gold. The 2009 Ultra-High Relief Double Eagle gold coin became available on June 3, 2009. It sold for $1,289.00 from the U.S. Mint catalog.
