Certified Limited Editions of the World’s Purest Official Mint Coin

Santa Monica, Calif. - August 4, 2008 - Goldline International, Inc. today announced it has acquired the very first uniquely designed 2008 .99999 pure gold one-ounce Maple Leaf coins struck by the Royal Canadian Mint. These coins have been independently certified by Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), one of the premier coin grading services, to be the first seventeen hundred 2008 .99999 pure Maple Leaf coins. The overwhelming majority of these “First Strike” coins are graded in Superb Gem Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition. Each graded coin will be sonically sealed in a rigid plastic container to preserve its mint condition. The PCGS certification includes a unique serial number for each coin.

The .99999 Maple Leaf was introduced by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2007 as the purest gold coin struck by a government mint. The original Maple Leaf coin was first minted in 1979 and contained .999 pure gold. In 1982, the Royal Canadian Mint increased the Maple Leaf’s purity to .9999 (or 24 karat), setting a new benchmark for gold bullion coins. The Royal Canadian Mint raised the standard once again with its .99999 Maple Leaf. The .99999 Maple Leaf features a new, elegant maple leaf gracing the reverse and a 12-sided design.

“When Canada increased the gold content of the Maple Leaf to .99999 fine, it set an unsurpassed standard for gold investment products,” said Mark Albarian, President and Chief Executive Officer of Santa Monica-based Goldline International, Inc. “The independently graded and certified 2008 First Strike .99999 Maple Leafs offer collectors and the investment community a special gold coin at a time when investors are seeking a traditional safe haven hedge against inflation and a falling dollar.”

Jackson served as major general in the War of 1812 and was commander of U.S. forces that defeated the British at the battle of New Orleans. He was known as “Old Hickory” due to his reputation for being very tough. He dominated American politics for many years.

The United States Mint has issued more than one billion Presidential $1 Coins in the order the Presidents served, starting with the George Washington Presidential $1 Coin in February 2007. Andrew Jackson was the seventh President, and he is being honored with the seventh Presidential $1 Coin.

(Baltimore, Maryland) — The brief comments below are in conjunction with the unveiling of a new U.S. gold coin, the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle, by United States Mint Director, Ed Moy, at the American Numismatic Association World’s Fair of Money® in the Baltimore Convention Center on July 30, 2008.

“This is one of the most creative products to come from the United States Mint. I believe it will be one of the Mint’s most sought after coins,” stated Gary Adkins of Edina, Minnesota, President of the Professional Numismatists Guild (www.PNGdealers.com), a nonprofit organization composed of many of the nation’s top rare coin experts.

“Virtually every collector would like to own one of the Ultra High Relief gold pieces issued in 1907 because it’s one of the world’s most beautiful coins; however, because of scarcity and strong demand, prices can range from $10,000 and up. The 2009-dated Ultra High Relief Double Eagle gold coins will give collectors a chance to obtain this artistic rendition at a price closer to its actual gold bullion value,” Adkins said.

“In the early 20th century, President Theodore Roosevelt felt our circulating coins lacked artistic appeal, and he commissioned renowned sculptor, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, to create a numismatic work of art. His high relief, raised design was adopted, but after some controversy was quickly changed to lower relief because the coins could not be stacked on top of each other and there were problems with the minting process. The flat relief design that subsequently went into circulation in 1907 perhaps is not as esthetically appealing, but it made for easier commerce in the days when we actually had gold coins in circulation,” PNG President Adkins explained.

The new coin was unveiled by United States Mint Director Ed Moy on the opening day of the American Numismatic Association World’s Fair of Money convention in Baltimore, July 30, 2008. After the presentation, Adkins briefly met with Director Moy and showed him an example of a 1907 High Relief Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle.

Founded in 1953, the Professional Numismatists Guild is a nonprofit organization composed of many of the top rare coin and paper money dealers in the United States and seven other countries. PNG member-dealers must adhere to a strict Code of Ethics in the buying and selling of numismatic merchandise.

Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson announced that pursuant to Public Law: 31 U.S.C. § 5112(i)(4) the United States Mint will issue a one-ounce ultra-high relief 24-karat gold coin, creating a 2009 version of what many have called the most beautiful gold piece ever made: the Ultra High Relief Saint-Gaudens $20 Double Eagle.

Aided by advancements in technology, the United States Mint now can produce, in quantity, the ultra high relief coin envisioned, but never fully realized, by renowned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens in 1907.

The mintage of the new coin will be unlimited for one year. Among the production specifications approved by Secretary Paulson are the new coin’s business-strike finish and a diameter of 27 millimeters, making the new collectible coin about 50 percent thicker than other United States Mint one-ounce gold coins.

Only 2009-dated coins will be minted. The coins will go on sale in early 2009, although sales may continue into 2010 if inventory exists.

United States Mint Director Ed Moy will participate in the Opening Ceremony of the American Numismatic Association World’s Fair of Money on Wednesday, July 30, 2008, at 9:30 a.m. ET

Visitors will be able to feel the ultra high relief on plasters of the coin that will be featured at the Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin exhibit at the United States Mint booth on the bourse floor at the World’s Fair of Money.

The Obverse: Saint-Gaudens’ Liberty, personified by a statuesque woman striding powerfully forward. Liberty is leading the way with a torch in her front hand and an olive branch in the back hand. The United States Capitol dome is also depicted in the background.

The Reverse & Edge Lettering: A young eagle flying during a sunrise is depicted on the reverse. The motto, “E PLURIBUS UNUM” is on the edge of the coin, allowing a cleaner design on the obverse and reverse.
