a great idea for next year's commemorative

instead of an ultra high relief made from the "technology of today", let's use the original mold that Augustus St. Gaudens used for making his Gold Double Eagles and produce a 2010 issue with the same metal content and look as the original. (90% gold, 10% copper)

anyone on board with me on that?

i guess it'd have to be made from "American gold" since god forbid we use gold from australia or somewhere else to make a U.S mint product. (this is the reason they didn't make 09 silver eagles apparently, the mint just didn't have enough planchets)
