2009-W Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin PCGS Secure Plus MS69. Fineness: 0.9999 (24 karat). Weight: 31.1000 gr (one troy ounce). Edge: plain with incused lettering. We bought this coin new, directly from the Mint. We submitted it to PCGS for grading and certification. It is stored in a climate controlled, smoke free vault. This spectacular pure gold coin is a genuine legal tender United States coin. Please review the photos carefully. The coin in these photos is the coin that you will receive. The 2009 Ultra-High Relief was a reprise of the extremely rare, double-thick, small diameter patterns proposed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens in 1907. Only two such patterns remain today, both of which are part of the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian Institution. The 2009 version is slightly different than the original patterns in that the rim is slightly flattened and does not come to the sharp, knife edge as seen on the originals. The 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin showed 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 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 Saint-Gaudens 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. 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. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. IN GOD WE TRUST. Mint and Mint Mark West Point, W. Artist Information Designer: Augustus Saint- Gaudens. Public response to the new Ultra-High Reliefs was tremendous. The original US Mint packaging is also available on request. Photos: When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed. Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered. Surface areas that appear black on some proof coin photos are actually highly polished, mirror-bright metal reflecting the color of the camera. We place the coin at an angle, in some photos, to better depict the mirror bright finishes. However, angling the coin usually results in one side of the coin being slightly out of focus. Whenever possible, we use actual photos of our coins, rather than just artists conception drawings from the Mint. We frequently update and upgrade the photos that appear with our listings, using improved cameras and lenses and better lighting. We will honor your requests for additional photos as quickly as our schedule permits.
