Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin Reverse
Double Eagle Gold Coins

• Year of Issue: 2009  issue price $1189.00

BackgroundThe 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin shows the Nation and the world the very best the United States Mint has to offer. The 21st century vision of the United States Mint, combined with technological advances, enabled the United States Mint to realize the previously unattainable goal of making the coin accessible to all Americans.
Through 21st century technology and the vision of Director Ed Moy, original Saint-Gaudens coin plasters were digitally mapped by the United States Mint. Using the digital design and die-making process, the Saint-Gaudens sculpture—in ultra high relief—has been updated to reflect the year 2009, an additional four stars to represent the current 50 states, and the inscription “In God We Trust,” which was not on the 1907 version.
Additionally, a small border was added for a more consistent edge. The 2009 coin will be made of 24-karat gold. Pure 24-karat gold is much more malleable than 22-karat or 90% gold coins, making it better material for striking the ultra high relief.

Read LessCharacteristicsObverse: Saint-Gaudens' Liberty, personified by a statuesque woman striding powerfully forward. Liberty is leading the way with a torch in her front hand and an olive branch in the back hand. The United States Capitol dome is also depicted in the background.

Reverse: A young eagle flying during a sunrise is depicted on the reverse. The motto, "E PLURIBUS UNUM" is on the edge of the coin, allowing a cleaner design on the obverse and reverse.Obverse Inscriptions

​ U.S. Mint American Eagle gold, silver coin sales fall sharply
Reuters Staff

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Sales of U.S. Mint American Eagle gold and silver coins fell sharply year-over-year in November, keeping their tally for the first 11 months of 2017 on track for the weakest year since 2007, the latest data showed on Thursday.
U.S. Mint data showed its sales of American Eagle gold coins totaled 12,000 ounces in November, down 92 percent from November 2016. This placed sales for 2017 so far at 259,500 ounces, on track for the lowest in 10 years.
Sales of American Eagle silver coins reached 385,000 ounces in November, down 87 percent from November 2016, and bringing year-to-date sales to 17.3 million ounces, also on track for the lowest in 10 years.
Investors have shrugged off geopolitical concerns and have been selling some silver in favor of investing in the stock market’s record rally.

  U.S. Mint’s Gold and Silver Coins Turn to Lead for Some Retirement Investors The government sells gold-coin proofs at a 25% markup over per-ounce gold prices; ‘it’s sort of like buying a car and driving it off the parking lot’ 
U.S. gold proof coins from the U.S. Mint facility in West Point, N.Y.

The U.S. Mint makes a pretty penny selling gold and silver coins. But there are two sides to the deal, which some investors are calling highway robbery.
After years of making pennies and nickels that cost more to produce than they are worth, the Treasury Department is making a mint off a line of pricey American Eagle coins in what is known as proof condition—sheathed in plastic and never touched by human hands. Last year, sales totaled $112 million.
Gold proof coinThe government currently is selling the gold-coin proofs at a 25% markup over per-ounce gold prices, a premium that can run as high as $360 per coin. The silver coins carry a more than 200% premium over market silver prices. 
That might be well worth it for coin collectors and hoarders—or for stashing in a post-apocalypse bunker along with the guns and freeze-dried macaroni. But some unhappy investors have deposited them into retirement accounts, where the shiny gold and silver coins have performed like lead sinkers.
Paul Rumage, a 64-year-old retired software engineer from Michigan, said he was looking for a haven from stocks for his individual retirement account in 2013. A private dealer persuaded him to buy 45 four-coin sets of American Eagle gold proofs, and 979 ounces of silver Eagle proofs, records show. 
The 1,135-coin treasure of gold and silver cost him $308,000, which included a 6% commission for the broker. Less than a month later, his IRA statement valued the coins at $212,000. 
“I knew something was wrong,” Mr. Rumage said.
After filing a lawsuit against the dealer and broker, he sold the coins back at a loss. He since has given up on gold and instead bought land in Arkansas.
U.S. silver proof coins from the U.S. Mint facility in West Point, N.Y. The government’s proof sales amount to a heads-I-win-tails-you-lose deal, according to George Cooper of USAGold, a Denver investment firm. He said he won’t sell the proof coins without reciting an extensive disclaimer.
Marvin E. Johnson, 61, of Kanawha, Iowa, said American Bullion Inc. sold him 930 American Eagle silver proof coins for his retirement account. He paid the equivalent of nearly 2 1/2 times the market price of silver. Then he sued when he saw his investment drop like a rock.
“He bought them at a premium where I don’t think he’d ever make a profit,” said Thomas Reavely, Mr. Johnson’s lawyer and coin collector.
Mr. Johnson and American Bullion later settled the coin dispute confidentially. Orkan Ozkan, American Bullion’s chief executive, said it wasn’t the company’s fault. Mr. Johnson, he said, paid the going rate: “We buy it high, mark it up and sell it high.”
Then he pointed a finger at the government. “Maybe you should ask that question of the Mint: Why are you charging so much for these coins?” he said.
The U.S. Mint does operate a bit like a coin dealer. Salespeople answer phones. An online store, with a pop-up chat window, adorns the website. Customers can sign up to have annual proof sets charged to their credit cards.
Mint profits on gold Eagle proofs hit nearly 18% last year. Net profits on the Silver Eagle proofs were even better, reaching about 41% last year. 
The Mint transfers its profits to the Treasury’s General Fund. “We are not in it to make money,” said Kristie McNally, the Mint’s chief financial officer. 
Mint officials said they pitch proof coinage as collector’s items, not investments. But Congress kept the door open to putting the coins into retirement account investments a few years after banning other collectible items in 1981. 
‘Proof gold’ on display at the U.S. Mint facility in West Point, N.Y. G Before the ban, said Ken Swab, former counsel for a House subcommittee on consumer affairs and coinage, investors could keep Persian rugs in their living rooms and IRA accounts. 
“It was perfect,” he said. “You could walk on your tax deduction every day.” 
Lawmakers allowed American Eagle proofs as an exception to the rule, making them a favorite for coin dealers pitching a “Gold IRA” to retirees.

Balint Mezei, a self-employed contractor, said he bought about $50,000 worth of U.S. proof coins around 2006 for his retirement account after being convinced by a coin dealer they would be safer from the government’s hands than regular bullion. 
Mr. Mezei said his account statement after the purchase valued the coins at $35,000. “I just wanted to diversify,” he said, calling the dealer’s 30% markup unfair. Gold prices rose, so he sold the coins last year for more than he paid, though he would have made more had he invested in regular gold bullion.
Most buyers are better off not expecting any profits from U.S. proof coinage, experts say. Some collectors say they get joy simply by possessing the coins.
The American Eagle proof, a double-struck coin, has been described as the most beautiful coin ever made. Plus, “you get a certificate” and “a little leather box,” said Rick Boss  of Ohio, a proof-coin collector and retired AT&T engineer. “You’re getting a piece of history.”
Nonetheless, Jeffrey Christian, a precious-metals investment adviser, said he steers his clients away: “It’s sort of like buying a car and driving it off the parking lot. It will have an immediate depreciation.”

Gold and silver proof coins sold by the U.S. Mint aren’t colored with a special dye. An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated a special dye was used. (Nov. 27, 2017)
