Over 100 years after the revolutionary release of the $20 Gold Saint-Gaudens, the U.S. Mint surprised collectors with the perfect homage to the most beautiful gold coin ever made—the 2009 $20 Ultra High Relief Gold! Replicating Augustus Saint-Gaudens' iconic liberty and bold eagle designs but with modern technology that was not available in the previous century, this release was truly awe-inspiring.
The original coin design plasters were digitally recreated as new ultra-high relief dies by the United States Mint. Four more stars were also added to the design to acknowledge the addition of New Mexico, Arizona, Alaska, and Hawaii to the Union. This 2009 $20 Ultra High Relief Gold is an absolute rarity struck with 1 oz of .9999 fine Gold and a miniscule mintage of just 114,427 coins. The Ultra High Relief strike lets you see the designs with a new richness and depth never seen before. Not only was this piece awarded a perfect MS70 by NGC, but it was also determined to have a Proof-Like finish. This is remarkable as it shows the mint state strike is so fine it is akin to a glossy proof. This remarkable coin has been awarded the Magnum Opus label, an exclusive label dedicated to masterpiece designs. Only 20 exist with the Magnum Opus label in NGC MS70 PL, making this a once-in-a-lifetime rarity to collect. Secure this golden masterpiece for your collection today!
