It is BEAUTIFUL!!! Coin News has a wonderful composite image of the 2009 St. Gauden's Double Eagle that'll be minted for one year only. Below are the Mint's high resolution images of the coin:
Obverse
Reverse
Edge Lettering
I also wanted to note that Mint officials traveled to the Smithsonian with an example of the coin to verify that everything had been made according to the original (plus a few modifications: 50 stars and In God We Trust on the reverse).
I somehow suspect that I won't be able to afford one of these but if in any way I can, woo boy, it'd be awesome. :-D
