Oct. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- Coin collectors know when they have a rare find. They know when they have a masterpiece worthy to take a stand in their precious coin collection. Let’s begin with the Ultra High Relief Gold Coin that was introduced in January of 2009. What is the Ultra Relief Gold Coin? It is a $20.00 gold coin that is a replica of the original 1907 Ultra High Relief $20 Saint Gaudens design. Modern technology created a gorgeous 2009 version which was the original plan of Augustus Saint-Gaudens. This beautifully designed coin now resembled the coin Augustus had in mind. There was however a big difference and that was the fifty stars representing each state and the insertion of “IN God We Trust”. Lady Liberty looks stunning as she holds her torch in great pride and the reverse side shows a beautiful sunrise with an eagle flying overhead.
