<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 536684, member: 11521&quot;]My 2009 Ultra High Relief St Gaudens Double Eagle arrived today. I was NOT happy to find it sitting on my front porch this afternoon because I had requested that it be delivered to my PO box. At least it was not stolen.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway, I snapped a couple of photos of the coin. I could not get it out of the capsule so that limited what I could do photographing it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It is a stunning coin. The relief is GREAT!. The obverse is deeply dished. Not sure if that shows in the photo.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was able to compare this coin to a genuine MCMVII Ultra High Relief on display at the ANA&#039;s Bass Museum. While the 2009 is a good reproduction of the origina designl it is not completely faithful. But I can (barely) afford the 2009 UHR whereas I could never think of owning an MCMVII UHR.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ll try to get the coin out of the capsule and take some photos that better show the relief. Meanwhile enjoy these photos:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
