The 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle is a one troy ounce, .9999 fine gold coin struck by the United States Mint at the West Point facility. It carries a face value of twenty dollars, placing it within the legal tender framework of the United States, though its collector and numismatic significance far exceeds that denomination. This is not a standard bullion coin in the conventional sense. It was produced as a one-year-only commemorative that reimagined one of the most celebrated coin designs in American history using modern precision minting technology.
The example listed here has been certified and graded MS70 by the Numismatic Guaranty Company, representing a perfect specimen with no post-production imperfections visible under magnification. We carry the NGC MS70 graded version of this coin for collectors and buyers who want documented perfection in a historically significant piece.

This is not a standard bullion coin in the conventional sense. It was produced as a one-year-only commemorative that reimagined one of the most celebrated coin designs in American history using modern precision minting technology.
The example listed here has been certified and graded MS70 by the Numismatic Guaranty Company, representing a perfect specimen with no post-production imperfections visible under magnification. We carry the NGC MS70 graded version of this coin for collectors and buyers who want documented perfection in a historically significant piece.
The Ultra High Relief Double Eagle traces its origins to Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the sculptor commissioned by President Theodore Roosevelt in the early twentieth century to redesign American coinage. Saint-Gaudens created what many consider the most artistically ambitious coin design in United States history, originally intended for the 1907 Double Eagle in ultra high relief. Technical limitations of the era prevented mass production in true ultra high relief, and the design was ultimately modified for commercial minting.
Over a century later, the United States Mint revisited Saint-Gaudens's original vision using contemporary minting technology capable of capturing the extreme sculptural depth he intended. The 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle was produced using digital laser mapping of the original plasters, allowing the Mint to reproduce the design at a fidelity and relief depth that was simply not achievable in 1907. The coin was struck multiple times to achieve the full depth of design, a process that distinguishes it from standard production coins.
The West Point Mint handled production, though the mintmark does not appear on the coin itself. Only a single year of production occurred, making this a genuinely limited release with no annual continuation. That distinction contributes significantly to its place in the modern numismatic record.
The obverse features a full-length figure of Liberty striding forward, torch raised in her right hand and olive branch in her left, set against a radiant sun and the United States Capitol building in the background. The design radiates movement and sculptural depth, with Liberty's robes and figure rendered with a three-dimensional quality that no standard-relief coin can replicate. The inscription "IN GOD WE TRUST" appears on the obverse, a placement that required special congressional authorization.
The reverse depicts a flying eagle in full flight, wings spread across the field of the coin with a sun rising behind it. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," "TWENTY DOLLARS," and the purity designation are incorporated into the design without crowding the central imagery. The lettered edge adds a final layer of craftsmanship, carrying the inscription "E PLURIBUS UNUM" with stars separating the words around the perimeter of the coin.
The finish on the 2009 Ultra High Relief is not a traditional proof or bullion strike. The Mint used a matte-like, satin-finished field with polished high points, creating a visual contrast that emphasizes the coin's sculptural relief. The edge lettering, the extreme depth of design, and the 22mm thickness relative to other one-ounce coins all contribute to a tactile and visual presence that is immediately distinctive from standard bullion issues.
Each coin was struck in .9999 fine gold at the West Point Mint, making it one of the purest gold coins ever issued by the United States Mint at that time. The production process itself, involving multiple strikes under high pressure to achieve full relief, ensures that every coin meets an exceptionally demanding standard before leaving the facility. The United States Mint's exacting specifications and oversight make independent verification straightforward for any knowledgeable buyer or dealer.
The NGC MS70 grade assigned to this coin adds a second layer of documented authenticity. NGC is one of the two leading third-party grading services in the United States, and we are an authorized dealer for both NGC and PCGS. An MS70 designation means the coin was examined under magnification and found to be free of any contact marks, hairlines, or surface imperfections. The coin is encapsulated in a tamper-evident NGC holder with a unique certification number that can be verified directly through NGC's online registry.
MS70 is the highest grade on the Sheldon scale and indicates a coin in perfect mint state condition. For an NGC-certified coin, this designation confirms that no imperfections were detected under five-power magnification, meaning the coin's surfaces, luster, and strike are as close to technical perfection as the grading standard allows. This grade is particularly meaningful for the 2009 Ultra High Relief given the complexity and depth of the design, as full strike and flawless surface preservation are more difficult to achieve on a coin with this level of sculptural relief.
The coin is delivered in its original NGC plastic slab, which serves as both a protective enclosure and a certified authentication document. The slab is sealed and labeled with the coin's grade, certification number, and description. No additional handling of the coin is necessary or recommended, as the encapsulation preserves the surfaces in the state they were in at the time of grading.
Pricing for the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle reflects both the underlying gold content and the numismatic premium associated with its graded status, historical significance, and limited production. The one troy ounce of .9999 fine gold forms the base of the calculation, but the premium above spot for an NGC MS70 example is driven by factors well beyond raw metal content. Collector demand, the one-year-only mintage, the complexity of the minting process, and the certified perfection of the specific example all influence where this coin trades relative to spot.
Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions rather than fixed markups, and the bid/ask spread displayed on this product page evolves as wholesale market dynamics shift. Buyers evaluating this coin should consider both the acquisition cost and the resale market for certified Ultra High Relief examples, which has historically been supported by strong collector recognition and demand for perfect-graded specimens.
The 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle in NGC MS70 occupies a recognized position in the numismatic market, supported by a dedicated collector base and consistent secondary market activity. Its combination of recognized issuer, documented gold content, certified grade, and one-year production status gives it a clear identity among buyers and dealers who are familiar with the series. Resale is facilitated by the NGC certification, which removes the need for independent verification at the point of sale and makes transactions more efficient.
We operate a two-way market that supports both buying and selling of certified and bullion products. Customers considering this coin can evaluate both sides of the transaction before committing, and our buyback pricing for this type of numismatic gold reflects current wholesale market conditions rather than arbitrary dealer discretion. Liquidity for MS70-graded examples of this issue is supported by its presence in the NGC registry and its standing as one of the most artistically significant modern United States Mint releases.
This coin occupies a genuinely distinct position in the modern United States Mint catalog. It is not an annual series coin that will be reprinted next year. The 2009 Ultra High Relief was a one-time production that required exceptional engineering effort to realize Saint-Gaudens's original artistic intent, and the result has not been replicated. For collectors who value both historical design pedigree and technical minting achievement, this coin represents a convergence of those qualities that is difficult to find elsewhere in modern American coinage.
The NGC MS70 certification removes ambiguity from the purchase. The buyer is not evaluating condition from a photograph or relying on a seller's description. The grade is documented, the certification is independently verifiable, and the coin is encapsulated in a way that preserves that condition going forward. For a coin where surface quality directly affects both aesthetic impact and market value, that level of documentation is meaningful rather than merely ceremonial.
We have been operating as a nationally recognized precious metals dealer since 2010, and our approach throughout that time has centered on transparency and long-term customer relationships rather than transactional pressure. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau reflects the consistency of that approach over many years and thousands of transactions. We are members of both the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association, and we are authorized dealers for both NGC and PCGS, which matters specifically for graded products like this one.
Our pricing structure is built around real-time market conditions, and the bid/ask spread on each product page is updated to reflect current wholesale dynamics rather than padded with unnecessary dealer margins. We also operate a genuine two-way market, meaning the same platform where you buy also supports competitive buyback pricing when you decide to sell. For a certified numismatic coin like the 2009 Ultra High Relief MS70, understanding both the acquisition cost and the resale market before the purchase is exactly the kind of informed approach we are built to support.
Bullion Standard Pro provides members with access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing, which is particularly relevant for a graded numismatic product where premiums above spot can be significant and market-driven. Rather than working from static retail price points, Pro members transact at pricing that reflects actual wholesale market conditions as they exist in real time. For a product like the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle MS70, where premium levels can shift based on collector demand and secondary market activity, having direct visibility into executable wholesale pricing gives members a more accurate basis for evaluating what they are paying and what the coin is worth at any given moment.
Pro membership also includes real-time portfolio valuation using current wholesale bid prices, proprietary product research tools, and analytics covering premiums, bid/ask spreads, and liquidity metrics. These tools are designed to reduce the information gap that typically exists between retail buyers and wholesale market participants, making it easier to evaluate products like this one using objective data rather than marketing claims.
