2023-W $100 1-oz Gold American Liberty High Relief Proof NGC PF70UC First Day of Issue w/Mercanti Signature

Gorgeous Gold American Liberty Proofs Personally Signed By John Mercanti!

Liberty is one of the most important founding principles of the United States—it’s right there in the Pledge of Allegiance where it states, “With liberty and justice for all.” Beginning in 2015, the United States has celebrated this treasured American value with one-year-only coins that feature modern interpretations of the concept of American Liberty. For 2023, that interpretation is a pristine image of a bristlecone pine—among the oldest living organisms on Earth—serving as a bold representation of the perseverance of the passion for American liberty.

An indomitable Symbol Of America

Struck in a full ounce of 99.99% pure (24 karat) gold, this legal-tender $100 coin captures the independent nature of Americans everywhere through the persona of the bristlecone pine, a species native to California, Nevada, and Utah. Bristlecone pines grow in places where other plants simply can’t. With a lifespan of around 5,000 years, they’re also often the first species to begin growing again following cataclysmic changes such as a lava run or glacial runoff. Inscriptions on the design are “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “2023.”

Gorgeous High Relief Proof Coins

Complementing the pine tree is a reverse design that depicts a young bald eagle standing on a rocky outcropping moments before it takes flight. Wrapping around the top of the design is an inscription that reads “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.” Together they create a pair of metaphors that illustrate the spirit of American Liberty in a whole new way. And, thanks to the extraordinary High Relief details, the designs seem to leap from the surface of the coin.

Perfect Proofs From Among The First Issued

Plus, each coin was struck by the West Point Mint in gorgeous proof condition, meaning they were expertly crafted from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields! In fact, each coin available here has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in flawless Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70UC) condition, a distinction that means your perfectly-graded proof will have ZERO imperfections—showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended. In addition, NGC has also certified that these proofs are First Day of Issue (FDI) coins, a designation that means they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository by the release date or on the business day within 24 hours of the official release date.

Personally Signed By A Legend In The Coin World

Plus, each coin available in this offer will come sonically sealed in a museum-quality acrylic holder and encapsulated with a label personally signed by the legendary John M. Mercanti, the U.S. Mint’s 12th Chief Engraver! A giant in the numismatic world, Mercanti has produced more coin and medal designs than any person in U.S. Mint history! You’ll also receive the medal’s original government packaging that consists of a black presentation box slipped inside a sleeve and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
