2009 $20 Saint-Gaudens Ultra High Relief Gold in Original Mint Packaging

The 2009 Ultra High Relief Saint-Gaudens represents a triumphant return to Augustus Saint-Gaudens' original artistic vision for American gold coinage. This commemorative issue was struck using modern minting technology to achieve the extraordinary relief that Saint-Gaudens intended but could not accomplish with early 20th century equipment. The coin features the iconic Standing Liberty design with flowing robes and torch, set against radial sunburst rays that create exceptional depth and dimensionality.

We feel that coins that still contain all the original mint packaging are simply too cheap in today's market. Only 115,178 coins were struck and the great majority of them have been certified and slabbed--leading us to believe these are a fantastic gold value in today's market.  These are unquestionably one of the most beautiful and impressive one ounce gold coins the US Mint has ever produced and we absolutely love them at current price levels in relation to their gold value.

The obverse displays Lady Liberty in full figure, holding a torch and olive branch, with the Capitol building visible in the background. The reverse features a majestic eagle in flight above a radiant sun, with the inscription "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "TWENTY DOLLARS" prominently displayed. The ultra high relief technique produces remarkable three-dimensional qualities, with details that seem to emerge from the coin's surface with museum-quality precision.

This example comes complete with its original U.S. Mint packaging and Certificate of Authenticity, preserving the coin's pristine condition and official provenance. The Ultra High Relief series represents a landmark achievement in modern American coinage, combining historical significance with cutting-edge minting technology. For those seeking a centerpiece example of contemporary numismatic artistry rooted in classic American design, this coin delivers exceptional beauty and craftsmanship.
