The 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle is a one-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 in the legal tender category, though its significance extends well beyond that denomination. Issued in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, this coin is recognized as one of the most technically ambitious pieces produced by the Mint in the modern era.
We carry this coin in its original government packaging, complete with the presentation box and Certificate of Authenticity. That combination matters to buyers who prioritize preservation of the coin's original presentation and want the full documentation that accompanies it from the United States Mint.

It carries a face value of twenty dollars, placing it in the legal tender category, though its significance extends well beyond that denomination. Issued in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, this coin is recognized as one of the most technically ambitious pieces produced by the Mint in the modern era.
We carry this coin in its original government packaging, complete with the presentation box and Certificate of Authenticity. That combination matters to buyers who prioritize preservation of the coin's original presentation and want the full documentation that accompanies it from the United States Mint.
The design origins of the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle trace directly to Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the sculptor commissioned by President Theodore Roosevelt to elevate American coinage to an artistic standard worthy of the nation's standing at the turn of the twentieth century. Saint-Gaudens created an ultra high relief design for the 1907 Double Eagle that was breathtaking in its sculptural depth, but the technical demands of that relief proved too great for mass production at the time. The relief was reduced, and Saint-Gaudens died before seeing a fully realized version of his original vision strike in quantity.
More than a century later, the United States Mint revisited that original plaster and produced the 2009 Ultra High Relief as a single-year tribute to what Saint-Gaudens had originally conceived. Modern minting technology, including multiple die strikes, allowed the Mint to finally achieve the depth and dimensionality that had been impossible in 1907. The coin was not part of an ongoing annual series, making 2009 the only year this specific format was produced.
The West Point Mint, though its mark does not appear on the coin itself, handled production of the entire run. West Point has a long history of producing the Mint's most technically demanding and numismatically significant gold products, and its involvement here reflects the prestige associated with this release.
The obverse presents Lady Liberty striding forward, torch raised in her right hand and an olive branch in her left, with the Capitol building visible in the background and the sun rising behind her. The figure has a commanding sculptural presence made possible by the extreme relief, which causes the image to emerge dramatically from the field in a way that flat or standard relief coins simply cannot replicate. The inscription "LIBERTY" arcs above, and the date 2009 appears below.
The reverse features a bald eagle in full flight, wings spread wide against a sunburst pattern, with "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "TWENTY DOLLARS" inscribed along the border. The relief on the reverse is equally pronounced, giving the eagle a three-dimensional quality that rewards close examination from different angles. The coin's edge is lettered with "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and a series of stars, a detail borrowed directly from the original Saint-Gaudens design that adds to the overall sense of historical fidelity.
Produced in a slightly concave format, the coin features a wire edge, polished fields, and a surface finish that enhances the contrast between the high-relief sculptural elements and the surrounding field. The result is a coin that reads less like a typical bullion issue and more like a museum-quality relief sculpture in miniature.
Each 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle was struck from .9999 fine gold, exceeding the purity standard of the standard American Gold Eagle series at .9167. The United States Mint produced these coins under rigorous quality controls and packaged each one directly with an accompanying Certificate of Authenticity, which forms part of the complete offering we carry. That documentation is not incidental; it provides traceable confirmation of origin directly from the issuing authority.
We verify every product for authenticity and condition before it enters our inventory. Our authorized dealer relationships with both PCGS and NGC give us direct access to third-party grading and authentication resources, which is particularly relevant for a coin of this numismatic significance. Buyers who want professional certification in addition to the Mint's original packaging have a clear path to do so through those grading services.
This coin is offered in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, meaning it has not been put into circulation and retains its original mint-struck surfaces. For a coin like the 2009 Ultra High Relief, which was never intended for everyday use, BU condition is the standard from which all examples of this issue begin. The extreme relief and polished fields make surface quality immediately visible, and BU examples retain the crisp detail and luster that define this coin at its best.
Each coin ships with its original United States Mint presentation box and Certificate of Authenticity intact. The box is a rigid, collector-grade case designed specifically for this release, and keeping it complete preserves both the coin's presentation integrity and its documentation. For buyers who may eventually sell or transfer ownership, the original box and COA represent the most complete and desirable configuration of this product.
Pricing for the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle reflects the current spot price of gold plus a premium that accounts for several distinct factors. The coin's .9999 fine gold content establishes the baseline metal value, but the premium above spot is shaped by the coin's single-year production run, its historical significance, the complexity of its minting process, and sustained collector demand that has persisted since its release year.
Unlike standard bullion coins that trade closer to spot based on high mintage and broad availability, the Ultra High Relief carries a premium consistent with a numismatically significant, low-supply issue. The presence of the original box and COA further supports that premium by confirming the coin's complete and original presentation. We structure our pricing around real-time market conditions and display bid and ask pricing transparently so buyers have a clear picture of the complete transaction before committing.
The 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle trades in both bullion and numismatic markets, which gives it a broader resale audience than a standard one-ounce gold coin. Its recognizable design, direct connection to Saint-Gaudens, single-year production, and .9999 fine gold content make it a well-understood product among dealers, collectors, and secondary market buyers. Complete examples with the original box and COA consistently command stronger resale interest than unpackaged coins of the same issue.
We operate a two-way market that supports both the purchase and the eventual sale of products like this one. Understanding liquidity before making a purchase is part of how we approach the entire buying and selling experience, and the Ultra High Relief occupies a position in the market where both its gold content and its collector appeal contribute to resale demand across multiple buyer types.
This coin occupies a category of its own among modern United States Mint gold issues. It is the only contemporary coin that fully realizes Saint-Gaudens' original ultra high relief vision using original design elements, and its single-year production means there will be no subsequent releases to dilute its place in the series. For buyers who want a coin that carries genuine historical resonance alongside its gold content, the Ultra High Relief delivers something a standard bullion issue does not.
The inclusion of the original box and COA makes this the most complete form in which the coin can be acquired. That completeness matters both for preservation and for future resale, where provenance and original packaging consistently support stronger market positioning. At one ounce of .9999 fine gold, the metal content itself is substantial, and the numismatic characteristics layer additional depth onto an already meaningful purchase.
We have built our reputation around transparent pricing, honest communication, and a buying experience that respects the intelligence of the people we serve. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions with clearly displayed bid and ask spreads on each product page, so there is no ambiguity about what you are paying or what the product is worth on the resale side. That kind of transparency is something we apply consistently, not selectively.
We source products from reputable mints, authorized distributors, and established wholesalers, and every item is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity before it reaches our customers. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau, membership in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association, and authorized dealer status with both PCGS and NGC reflect a level of accountability we take seriously. For a coin of the 2009 Ultra High Relief's caliber, buying through a dealer with that kind of credentialing matters.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across the precious metals catalog, including numismatically significant coins like the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle. Rather than working from static retail price sheets, Pro members see real-time pricing that reflects actual wholesale market conditions, along with tools for evaluating premiums, bid and ask spreads, and liquidity characteristics that are specific to individual products. For a coin where premium dynamics are more complex than standard bullion, that level of detail is genuinely useful.
Portfolio valuation through Pro uses live wholesale bid pricing rather than estimated retail values, giving members a more accurate picture of what their holdings would realistically return in the current market. Proprietary research tools allow side-by-side product comparisons using objective metrics rather than marketing claims, which is the kind of information that supports clearer thinking at every stage of a buying or selling decision.
We support a broad range of payment methods to make the buying process as straightforward as possible. Customers can pay using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover credit cards, as well as PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, and cryptocurrency via BitPay. Each method is processed through a secure checkout environment designed to protect your information and give you confidence throughout the transaction.
Whether you prefer the speed of a wire transfer for a larger purchase or the familiarity of a credit card, our payment infrastructure is built to accommodate different preferences without adding unnecessary friction to the process. Security and convenience are not trade-offs here; they are both built into how the checkout experience works.
Volume Discount Pricing Orders paid by debit card, credit card, and PayPal are an item's full list price and receive no discount. Orders paid by cryptocurrency receive a 3% discount from an item's full list price. Orders paid by eCheck (ACH), paper check, and bank wire receive a 4% discount from an item's full list price.
