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 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.
My love for coins began when I was 11 years old. I primarily collect and study U.S. coins produced during the 20th century. I'm a member of the American Numismatic Association (ANA) and the Numismatic Literary Guild (NLG) and have won multiple awards from the NLG for my work as a coin journalist. I'm also the editor at CDN Publishing (a trusted source for the price of U.S. rare coins), editor at the Florida United Numismatists Club (FUN Topics magazine), and author of Images of America: The United States Mint in Philadelphia (a book that explores the colorful history of the Philadelphia Mint). I've contributed hundreds of articles for various coin publications including COINage, The Numismatist, Numismatic News, Coin Dealer Newsletter, Coin Values, and CoinWeek.
