• The 2009 Ultra High Relief Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle was specially struck for one year only
• Designer Augustus Saint-Gaudens envisioned that his design would be struck in high relief unlike any seen before
• Due to primitive minting technology, the US Mint was unable to strike the double thick coin that was originally designed
• This coin finally fulfills Saint-Gaudens' dream with an Ultra High Relief strike on a 4mm thick planchet containing one ounce of .999 fine pure gold
• Only a fraction of these coins have graded in perfect Mint State 70 Prooflike condition
• The 2009 UHR Saint-Gaudens graded in Prooflike condition are six time rarer than their standard counterparts
• Absolute Rarity: Minuscule mintage of only 114,427 coins
