The 2009 ULTRA HIGH RELIEF DOUBLE EAGLE GOLD is going to go down in coin history as one of the US Mints biggest snafus in production, packaging & shipping. From the start they didn’t have enough blanks to begin production. I believe they misjudged the demand and were not ready. Then they had problems with the book that comes with the coin. That halted distribution. When they started to distribute again without the book (they are on back order) it was very close to the designated cutoff dates from major coin grading services for their special labels (“Early Release” and “First Strike”). To make matters worse the computers at the US Mints web site were hacked and all of a sudden people’s orders for this coin started to get canceled out, so they had to take their order status and history page offline. Because of all these problems both NGC and PCGS have received very few coins to date and will probably have extremely few that qualify for the Early Release or First Strike designation. More so NGC since their cutoff date is 3/09/09.These are going to be one of the rarest coins of not just the decade, but perhaps the century and will only become scarcer and increase in value because of the demand and supply problems mentioned above.
