2009 G$20 Ultra High Relief Red Book

Description

2009 Ultra High Relief $20 Gold Coin, NGC MS70. The 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle represents a significant milestone in modern United States coinage, marking the first production of this iconic design in over a century. This particular example has been certified by NGC at the coveted MS70 grade, indicating a coin of perfect or near-perfect quality with no visible imperfections under magnification. This issue was produced in limited quantities specifically for collectors and numismatists, featuring the celebrated Saint-Gaudens design rendered in ultra high relief—a technically challenging minting process that required specially prepared planchets and multiple striking sessions. The coin contains one ounce of .9999 fine gold and was struck at the United States Mint with meticulous attention to detail. The ultra high relief creates exceptional depth and visual appeal, with the eagle and Liberty rendered in remarkable three-dimensional form. An MS70 certification from NGC represents the absolute pinnacle of preservation for this modern classic. This grade is rarely achieved and indicates the coin has retained its original mint luster and strike characteristics without any post-mint handling marks or imperfections. For collectors seeking the finest examples of modern American gold coinage or those building high-grade type sets, this piece represents an exceptional opportunity. NGC Certificate #407404
