2009 (MMIX) PCGS MS-70 Ultra High Relief $20 Double Eagle Gold Coin - John Dannreuther Label

The $20 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle is widely regarded as one of the most iconic gold coins ever produced by the United States Mint. Originally introduced in 1907 under President Theodore Roosevelt, the coin was designed to elevate the artistic standard of American coinage and quickly became a cornerstone of U.S. numismatic history.

In 2009, the U.S. Mint revived this legendary design as a collector-focused release, striking the coin in .9999 fine 24-karat gold with breathtaking Ultra High Relief. This advanced minting technique creates remarkable depth and sculptural detail, giving the design a near three-dimensional appearance.

These particular coins were obtained directly from the U.S. Mint and feature a PCGS label hand-signed by famed numismatist John Dannreuther, a co-founder of PCGS and a respected authority on rare coins and die varieties. His Founders Mark of Distinction holder adds an additional layer of collectibility to an already extraordinary issue.

The Design

The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ celebrated depiction of Lady Liberty striding confidently forward, holding a torch and olive branch to symbolize enlightenment and peace. The rising sun radiates behind her while the Capitol Building appears in the distance. Surrounding details include the word “LIBERTY,” stars representing the states, and the year “MMIX” in Roman numerals.

On the reverse, a majestic bald eagle soars above the sun, capturing the spirit of strength and freedom. The design is inscribed with “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “TWENTY DOLLARS.” For the 2009 release, the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST” was incorporated into the design, and the star count was updated to reflect all 50 states.
