20 dollars AMERICAN GOLD EAGLE ULTRA HIGH RELIEF 2009, 1 oz gold

20 dollars AMERICAN GOLD EAGLE ULTRA HIGH RELIEF 2009, 1 oz gold The 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle represents a historic achievement for the United States Mint, perfectly blending American numismatic heritage with 21st-century minting technology. This magnificent coin fulfills the original, unattainable vision of sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens for President Theodore Roosevelt, realized over a century later. Struck in one full troy ounce of pure 24-karat gold, the coin’s extraordinary ultra-high relief creates unparalleled sculptural depth and detail. Using digital mapping of Saint-Gaudens' original plaster models, the Mint faithfully reproduced his iconic designs: a striding Lady Liberty on the obverse and a majestic flying eagle at sunrise on the reverse. Key updates for this modern masterpiece include the date MMIX (2009), the addition of "IN GOD WE TRUST", and four extra stars to represent all 50 states. Presented in pristine Proof quality from the West Point Mint, this legal tender $20 coin is housed in a custom presentation case with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity. More than a coin, it is a landmark piece of art and a cornerstone of any serious collection, symbolizing the pinnacle of American numismatic artistry and innovation. Thickness, mm.:
