2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle MS-70 PL PCGS (FS®)

---

In 2009, the West Point minting facility produced a remarkable gold coin that brought a historic vision into the modern era. This twenty-dollar denomination is struck with an exceptional thickness of 4 millimeters, allowing its features to rise dramatically from the surface in ultra high relief. Containing one troy ounce of 0.9999 fine gold, the coin is a technical marvel that recreates the artistic depth originally envisioned for the double eagle in 1907. The front of the coin presents a powerful image of Lady Liberty as she strides forward, illuminated by the rays of a rising sun. In her hands, she carries a torch to light the way and an olive branch. The reverse side captures a bald eagle soaring through the sky. Surrounding this majestic bird are the inscriptions indicating the nation of origin, the face value of twenty dollars, and the traditional motto, "In God We Trust." This particular specimen has been certified in pristine Mint State 70 Prooflike condition. The combination of its mirror-like fields, extreme dimensional depth, and flawless preservation makes it a captivating subject for anyone fascinated by the evolution of American coin design.
