In 2009, the United States Mint was finally able to bring Augustus Saint-Gauden’s dream of an ultra-high-relief coin to life on the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin. Now the Mint is building upon the success of that coin with the 2015-W 1 oz High Relief Gold Liberty Coin, available now through JM Bullion.

• United States Mint maximum mintage of just 50,000 coins total.
• Contains 1 troy ounce of .9999 pure gold.
• Bears a face value of $100 (USD) backed by the federal government.
• Graded a perfect Mint State 70 by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation.
• “W” mint mark identifies the West Point Mint as production facility.
• Part of the Early Release Series.
• Coins ship in a protective plastic slab courtesy of the NGC.

The all-new 2015 High Relief Gold Liberty Coin brings modern design features and impressive purity to the first $100 gold coin ever struck by the US Mint. The technological advances and knowledge gained through striking of the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold coin have been put to use in striking this beautiful new precious metal product.

On the obverse side of the coin is a modern vision of Lady Liberty, courtesy of United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program artist Justin Kunz. The image features Liberty as she stands tall, clutching a torch in her right hand and holding the American flag upright with her left. Engravings read “Liberty,” “2015,” and “In God We Trust.”

The reverse side features a majestic bald eagle in midflight, with an olive branch held tight in its talons. Created by Paul C. Balan and sculpted by Don Everhart, the image is surrounded by engravings that include the coin’s weight, purity, metal content, and face value.

Each of the 2015-W 1 oz High Relief Gold Liberty Coins in this listing has a perfect MS70 grade from the NGC. Coins in this condition possess their full, original luster, and no detracting flaws. As part of the Early Release Series, these coins were received by the NGC within the first 30 days of minting.
