Lot 2050
2009 $20 UHR. NGC graded MS-70. A perfect coin. Comes with the original box and booklet of issue. The 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle is a 21st century design in which original Saint-Gaudens 1907 coin plasters were digitally mapped by the United States Mint. Using a digital design and die-making process, the Saint-Gaudens sculpture -- in ultra high relief -- was updated to reflect the year 2009, an additional four stars were added to represent the current 50 states, and the inscription "In God We Trust" appears, which was not on the original 1907 version.
Additionally, a small border was added for the edge. The 2009 coin is made of 24-karat gold, pure gold being much more malleable than 22-karat or 90% gold coins were, according to the Mint, making it better material for striking the ultra high design (PCGS # 9959) .
Estimated Value $3,000-UP.
