The 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle is a one troy ounce, .9999 fine gold coin issued by the United States Mint and struck at the West Point Mint. Produced as a modern tribute to Augustus Saint-Gaudens' legendary 1907 design, it carries a face value of twenty dollars and stands among the most technically demanding coins the U.S. Mint has ever produced. This example has been certified by NGC and awarded the MS70 Deep Proof-Like designation, the highest grade achievable, with surfaces that exhibit exceptional mirror-like reflectivity across the fields.
We offer this coin as a graded, certified example sealed in an NGC holder, which preserves its condition and provides third-party verification of its grade and authenticity. The MS70 DPL designation is exceptionally rare within this issue and places this coin firmly in the category of premier certified examples.

This example has been certified by NGC and awarded the MS70 Deep Proof-Like designation, the highest grade achievable, with surfaces that exhibit exceptional mirror-like reflectivity across the fields.
We offer this coin as a graded, certified example sealed in an NGC holder, which preserves its condition and provides third-party verification of its grade and authenticity. The MS70 DPL designation is exceptionally rare within this issue and places this coin firmly in the category of premier certified examples.
The design history of this coin originates with Theodore Roosevelt's ambitious effort to elevate American coinage to the artistic standard of ancient Greek coins. He commissioned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens to redesign the double eagle, resulting in the iconic high relief twenty-dollar gold piece introduced in 1907. The original high relief version was a technical marvel of its time but was ultimately deemed impractical for circulation because the extreme depth of the design required multiple strikes and reduced production efficiency. The design was flattened for regular production shortly after its introduction.
More than a century later, the U.S. Mint revisited Saint-Gaudens' original vision for the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle. Using modern computer-aided design and advanced die technology, the Mint produced a coin with relief depth and sculptural quality that the 1907 original could only approximate. The West Point Mint struck each coin multiple times on specially prepared planchets to achieve the layered, dimensional finish that defines the series. It was issued as a one-time production run with no annual continuation, making the 2009 date the sole issue in this modern series.
The obverse features a full-length figure of Lady Liberty striding forward, her robes flowing behind her as she holds a torch aloft in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. The Capitol building appears in the background, with the sun's rays radiating outward across the field. The relief is dramatically sculpted, giving the figure a three-dimensional presence that is immediately striking even through the NGC holder. The inscriptions "LIBERTY" and "2009" appear on the obverse, maintaining the composition of the original Saint-Gaudens design.
The reverse depicts a soaring eagle in flight, wings spread against a rising sun with rays extending across the field. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and the denomination "TWENTY DOLLARS" complete the reverse design. The lettering on the edge reads "E PLURIBUS UNUM" with stars, a feature carried over from the 1907 original. The Deep Proof-Like surfaces create strong contrast between the frosted relief elements and the mirror-polished fields, a visual effect that distinguishes this certified example from standard mint state specimens.
This coin has been certified by NGC, one of the two most respected independent grading services in the numismatic industry. The MS70 DPL grade confirms that the coin is flawless under magnification and that its fields exhibit deep proof-like mirror reflectivity. NGC encapsulates each certified coin in a tamper-evident holder with a unique certification number that allows the grade and authentication to be verified directly through NGC's registry. We are an authorized NGC dealer, which supports our ability to offer graded products with full confidence in their certification.
The underlying coin itself is struck by the United States Mint from one troy ounce of .9999 fine gold, among the highest purity standards available for any gold coin. The West Point Mint's production standards for this issue were exceptionally rigorous, with each coin receiving multiple strikes to achieve the relief depth that defines the series. For buyers who prioritize verified condition and authenticated purity in a single, sealed package, the NGC MS70 DPL holder provides both.
The MS70 grade represents a perfect mint state example with no post-production imperfections visible under five-times magnification. The additional DPL designation confirms that the coin's fields display the deep, mirror-like reflectivity associated with proof-like surfaces, creating a dramatic contrast with the raised design elements. This combination of grade and finish is exceptionally difficult to achieve on a struck bullion or collector coin, and the population of MS70 DPL examples within this issue is very limited.
This coin ships in its NGC certified holder, which protects the coin's surfaces and preserves its grade. The hard plastic slab is sonically sealed and should not be opened, as doing so would void the NGC certification. No additional handling is required or recommended. The holder clearly displays the coin's grade, certification number, and designation on its label for easy identification and registry lookup.
The base value of this coin is anchored to the current spot price of gold, reflecting one troy ounce of .9999 fine metal. Beyond the intrinsic metal value, the premium for this coin reflects several compounding factors: the one-time production run with no subsequent issues, the technical complexity of the ultra-high relief striking process, the recognition of the Saint-Gaudens design legacy, and the rarity of the MS70 DPL certification within this issue. These factors place the premium for this coin well above standard one-ounce gold coins of comparable metal content.
Our pricing reflects real-time spot movements while also accounting for the numismatic and certification premium attached to a perfect-grade, deep proof-like example. The bid/ask spread displayed on our product page provides a complete and transparent picture of both the current acquisition cost and the expected resale value, giving buyers a clearer view of the true cost of ownership before any purchase is made.
The 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle is broadly recognized within the numismatic and precious metals communities, and certified examples in high grades maintain a consistent and well-documented market. NGC-certified coins in MS70 trade within established collector and dealer networks, with the certification providing the standardization and authentication that support confident resale. The DPL designation further narrows the population of comparable examples, which can influence pricing dynamics when high-grade examples change hands.
We operate a two-way market that supports both purchasing and selling within the same platform. Buyers who eventually decide to sell can work within our competitive buyback structure rather than navigating a separate resale process. For NGC-certified coins, the holder itself serves as a universally understood condition standard, which simplifies the resale conversation and supports more efficient pricing on both sides of the transaction.
This coin occupies a unique position in modern American numismatics. It is the only coin in the series, issued as a single production year with no continuation, which means supply is permanently fixed. The combination of a historically significant design revival, an exceptional striking process, and a limited original issue creates a product that differs meaningfully from standard one-ounce gold coins. For buyers who want full gold content alongside a significant numismatic identity, the 2009 Ultra High Relief delivers both without compromise.
The NGC MS70 DPL designation adds a further layer of distinction. MS70 examples represent the top of the population for any given issue, and the deep proof-like surfaces make this particular designation even harder to obtain. Buyers who prioritize top-tier certified condition within a historically significant coin will find very few alternatives that match this specific combination of attributes.
We have been operating as a nationally recognized precious metals marketplace since 2010, built on a foundation of transparent pricing and long-term customer trust. Our authorized dealer relationships with both NGC and PCGS mean we handle certified products with a thorough understanding of grading standards, holder integrity, and registry verification. Buyers can purchase this coin with confidence that the certification has been reviewed and the product meets the standard its label represents.
Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau and membership in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association reflect a consistent commitment to professionalism across every transaction. We present pricing transparently, including the bid/ask spread, so buyers understand both the cost of acquisition and the current resale context before committing. There is no pressure, no obscured pricing, and no ambiguity about what you are purchasing. Our customer support team is accessible and knowledgeable, and our fulfillment process is built to deliver certified coins safely and as described.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across a broad range of precious metals products, including certified numismatic coins like this one. Rather than relying on static retail prices, Pro members see real-time pricing that reflects actual wholesale market conditions, which is particularly meaningful for a coin where premiums can shift based on population data, collector demand, and broader gold market movements. Portfolio valuation through Pro uses live wholesale bid pricing, giving members a current liquidation-based view of their holdings rather than an estimated retail figure.
For a coin like the 2009 Ultra High Relief MS70 DPL, where the premium above spot is driven by both numismatic and supply factors, having access to transparent pricing data and historical premium analytics helps buyers evaluate whether current market conditions align with their objectives. Pro also provides product research tools that allow members to compare premiums, bid/ask spreads, and liquidity metrics across the catalog, supporting more informed decisions based on objective data rather than marketing context alone.
We support a wide range of payment methods to keep the purchasing process straightforward and secure. Buyers can complete transactions using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, or cryptocurrency through BitPay. Each payment method is handled within a secure transaction environment designed to protect buyer information at every step.
Whether you prefer the speed of a wire transfer, the convenience of a major credit card, or the flexibility of cryptocurrency, we have structured our payment options to accommodate how buyers actually transact. Security and ease of use are treated as equally important, and the same standards apply regardless of which payment method you choose.
