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 currently sells for $1,289.00 from the U.S. Mint catalog.

The 3rd quarter of the DC & U.S. Territories Quarters series was released on June 4, 2009.

The Guam 2-Quarter Roll Set, which includes 40 Philadelphia pieces and 40 Denver examples of the Guam quarter costs $32.95 and can be purchased from the U.S. Mint catalog.
Or, for the same $32.95, you can purchase either 100 Philadelphia or Denver quarters in bags from the U.S. Mint.
Don’t forget, you can also find proof versions of the Guam quarter in the various proof sets available from the United States Mint.

Hi, Gabriel —
We’ll be happy to help you better determine how much your 1874-S coin is worth it, but we’ll need to know the denomination, please. Is your coin a half dollar? Quarter?
