2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold MS70 PCGS FirstStrike
Struck at the West Point Mint in 2009, this Ultra High Relief Double Eagle is sealed in a PCGS holder and graded MS70, a perfect Mint State grade. It carries the PCGS FirstStrike designation, which identifies coins among the earliest shipped from the U.S. Mint within 30 days of release.
The coin brings to life Augustus Saint-Gaudens' original 1907 Ultra High Relief design, a vision that could not be produced in quantity in its day and that modern minting technology finally made possible. The obverse shows Lady Liberty striding forward before the rays of the sun, holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. The reverse shows a bald eagle in flight above a rising sun. Struck in .9999 fine gold in ultra high relief on a 4 mm thick planchet, this coin contains one full troy ounce of gold.
