The offering identifies 2009 as its issue year. The listed metal amount is 1 oz. The stated certification is PCGS MS69.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHistory and background\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle revisited Saint-Gaudens’ early twentieth-century sculpture using modern digital mapping and die-making technology. It was a contemporary United States Mint collector issue, not an original 1907 or pre-1933 circulating double eagle. The project translated an earlier artistic ambition into a new gold coin whose manufacture and metal specifications belong to 2009.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and product identity\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe standing Liberty and flying eagle recall Saint-Gaudens’ original work. The modern design includes the Roman numeral date MMIX, additional stars representing the fifty states and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST. Ultra high relief describes the sculptural depth of the design. It should not be treated as a numeric grade or used to imply that every example has identical surface preservation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct format:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eListed metal amount:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFineness or alloy:\u003c\/strong\u003e .9999 fine gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMint or maker attribution:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States Mint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIssue-year selection:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrading service:\u003c\/strong\u003e PCGS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eListed grade:\u003c\/strong\u003e MS69\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e UHRP69\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUnderstanding the metal content\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrecious metal ounce weights use the troy system. One troy ounce equals 31.1034768 grams, while a kilogram equals one thousand grams. Fineness states the proportion of precious metal in an alloy; fine metal weight states the amount of that metal. An alloyed coin’s gross weight includes its other metals as well. These measurements explain why a denomination, a package weight and a stated fine metal amount should not be treated as the same specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCertification and the stated grade\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePCGS stands for Professional Coin Grading Service. The service authenticates and grades submitted coins rather than manufacturing the original issue. This offering is identified as MS69. The numeric assessment concerns condition, not gold or silver purity. A certification number identifies a grading record, while the issue date identifies the coin. The holder label can also carry designations that are separate from both the coin’s denomination and its metal content. MS means Mint State and belongs to the uncirculated range of the traditional grading scale. An uncirculated coin can still have production or handling marks, so the number supplies a more specific assessment than the word uncirculated alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePreserving the product\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreserving the surface and the original identifying information helps retain the product’s physical history. Handle an unencapsulated collectible by its edges where appropriate and avoid polishing or abrasive cleaning. Keep a certified holder or stated assay package intact when retaining its identification matters. A brighter surface created by cleaning is not the same thing as a higher original condition grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterial, design and numismatic identity\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA product’s history is carried by several different kinds of information. The issuing or manufacturing name explains its origin, the design identifies its subject, the metal specification describes its material and the condition language describes its preservation. A date can connect the piece with a particular program or historical period without proving that it is rare. These features remain meaningful together even when two offerings contain similar amounts of precious metal. Keeping them distinct provides a more accurate description of the actual object.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"kz-product-sources\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical and technical references:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.usmint.gov\/learn\/coins-and-medals\/collectible-coins\/double-eagle\/ultra-high-relief-double-eagle\"\u003eU.S. Mint background\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ngccoin.com\/coin-grading\/grading-scale\/\"\u003eNGC grading reference\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kzoo Bullion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52518422053159,"sku":"UHRP69","price":4544.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/5046\/7367\/files\/media_8055599d-938f-46bb-91ab-20d286951830.jpg?v=1793706334","url":"https:\/\/kzoobullion.com\/products\/2009-ultra-high-relief-double-eagle-gold-coin-pcgs-ms69","provider":"Kzoo Bullion","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
