2009 $20 Ultra High Relief Saint-Gaudens Gold NGC MS-70 PL Mike Castle

The 2009 $20 Ultra High Relief Saint-Gaudens Gold coin represents a modern masterpiece that faithfully recreates Augustus Saint-Gaudens' original 1907 design vision. This coin was struck using the U.S. Mint's advanced technology to achieve the ultra-high relief that Saint-Gaudens originally intended but could not practically produce in 1907. The coin was issued as a numismatic collectible to commemorate the centennial of the original Saint-Gaudens double eagle design.

The obverse features Lady Liberty striding forward holding a torch and olive branch, with the Capitol building in the background and rays of sunlight emanating behind her figure. The reverse displays a majestic eagle in flight over the sun's rays, with "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "TWENTY DOLLARS" inscribed around the rim. The ultra-high relief striking technique creates exceptional depth and dimensional quality to both the obverse and reverse designs.

This example has been graded MS-70 PL by NGC, indicating perfect mint state condition with proof-like surfaces that exhibit mirror-like reflectivity. The coin bears the authentic hand-signed signature of Honorable Mike Castle, former Delaware Congressman and Coinage Subcommittee member. This combination of perfect grading and the Castle signature makes this coin particularly desirable among collectors of modern U.S. gold coins. One Available. The coin pictured is the exact coin you will receive.
