Reply #66: the high-relief coin is a reproduction

[CountAllVotes]

of an old coin. Read the description -

>>Using the digital design and die-making process, the Saint-Gaudens sculpture — in ultra high relief — has been updated to reflect the year 2009, an additional four stars to represent the current 50 states, and the inscription “In God We Trust,” which was not on the 1907 version.

Note: These are the only changes - the year and the additional four stars on the coin and the inscription "In God We Trust".

You are still getting one ounce of gold. In 1907 - $20.00 was one ounce. Today one ounce coins minted are marked $50.00 (although worth a lot more than $50.00 now).

Hope this helps.
