2018-W 10 Dollar 1/10-oz Gold Liberty High Relief Proof

The Second Year of a Historic Design in a Tenth-Ounce of 99.99% Pure Gold!

For more than 200 years, Lady Liberty has been a proud symbol of American independence, freedom and opportunity for millions of people in the United States and around the world. Over the years, the way we see her has changed to reflect the times and the eye of the interpreter. Either capped or with flowing hair, fully clothed or with an exposed breast, holding a shield, torch or olive branch -- each version of Liberty is full of beauty, symbolism and representation. What we see in her is, ideally, what we'd like to see within all of us.

That evolution still continues today. In 2017, to herald their 225th anniversary, the United States Mint celebrated the momentous occasion by introducing the Gold American Liberty Proof. Featuring a new artistic interpretation of Lady Liberty, this critically-acclaimed coin became a media event both before and after its release. And now, for 2018, you can bring home a tenth-ounce version of this numismatic touchstone, still minted in amazing high relief from 99.99% pure gold!

• A HISTORIC DESIGN . . .  -- Designed by Justin Kunz and sculpted by Phebe Hemphill, this coin marks the second (and last) year of the inaugural American Liberty biennial series -- imagining Lady Liberty through the prism of our nation's cultural and ethnic diversity. Like its 2017 predecessor, Liberty is portrayed as a beautiful African-American woman, wreathed with stars reminiscent of Thomas Crawford's "Statue of Freedom" that graces the top of the U.S. Capitol building.

• . . . STRUCK IN PHENOMENAL HIGH RELIEF! -- Using the latest in technology, the renowned artisans at the West Point Mint have created a stunning high relief masterpiece in just a tenth-ounce of 99.99% pure gold! Each hand-selected planchet is struck multiple times with polished, curved dies to create a coin with frosted, razor-sharp details that rise over a deep concave field shimmering with mirror-like reflectivity.

• U.S. LEGAL TENDER -- Each 2018 1/10-oz Gold American Liberty Proof is 10 dollars United States of America legal tender, as seen on the coin's reverse along with a majestic eagle designed by Chris Costello and sculpted by Michael Gaudioso. In addition, the reverse also features the coin's weight, purity and a distinctive "W" -- the mark of the West Point Mint.

• PHENOMENAL PACKAGING! -- Your Gold American Liberty Proof will arrive to you exactly as it left the U.S. Mint, secured inside a protective acrylic capsule and presented in a satin-lined burgundy clamshell case along with a certificate of authenticity.

Like its groundbreaking predecessor, this 2018 1/10-oz Gold American Liberty Proof is attracting collectors from across the country. As a perfect companion to last year's proofs or on its own as a symbol of America's cultural and manufacturing diversity, this coin is one that no collection should be without.
