    I was excited by the 2009 UHR until I realized it wasn’t going to be 90% gold and the finish wasn’t going to be more satiny. I wanted a full recreation of the look of the original.

    Anyway, another thing for gold treatment... the silver American Eagle in gold might be very interesting.

    The original didn't have In God We Trust while the 2009 UHR did have this motto so the designs are actually different.

    They could have put the motto on the edge to retain the original design as well.

    If they did that then where would they put E PLURIBUS UNUM? ;)

    Make the font smaller or narrower letters :)

    With everything going on now the Continental dollar has more meaning to me than ever.

    Can you elaborate?

    Is this still considered a privately minted European medal?

    I dont have much knowledge of that being a medal.
    It was the 1st pattern coin struck for the US. Pewter, Brass or Bronze and Silver iirc.

    There was one of these recently found in Europe in a flea market for cheap, and was graded pcgs ms62. Coinworld did an article on it earlier this year.

    The original Sacajawea with a W mint mark like the 22k pattern coins.
    St. Gaudens or Coronet double eagle designs on bullion with appropriate relief.

    I believe it's considered a European medal now, not created in the US.

    Here are some threads on this:

    That would look great struck in gold in UHR. ;)
