During this time, he managed the creation\/design of the Ultra-High 24k gold coin with raised edge lettering, improved die finishing techniques, and multi-level frosting on proof coins. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*Images are of actual coin you will receive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"U.S. Mint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44008197193862,"sku":"2910","price":24995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/5312\/9094\/files\/2020-v75-gold-eagle-obv__07269.1674515098.1280.1280.jpg?v=1779760197","url":"https:\/\/lcrcoin.com\/products\/2020-w-end-of-wwii-75th-annv-50-1-oz-gold-eagle-v75-ngc-pf70-one-of-1945-struck-harrigal-signed","provider":"LCR Coin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
