New 24k gold coin being minted in 2009!

The press release reads,"United States Mint Director Ed Moy announced at a meeting today of the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee that the agency plans to recreate what many have called the nation's most beautiful coin ever minted-Augustus Saint-Gaudens' original ultra high relief Liberty $20 Gold Piece. The design will be featured on a collectible 24-karat coin intended for sale to the public in 2009. In preparing to mint this coin, the United States Mint will test the development of the second variation of Saint Gaudens' design, the 27 millimeter, ultra-high relief coin with Roman numerals."

Go to the United States website and click on "Pressroom" to get the full artical.

I wonder if this is going to replace the 24k Buffalo design.

Happy collecting!
