For the first time in American history, the image of Liberty on an American coin was designed to reflect the diverse cultural background of America. The 2017 225th Anniversary American Liberty Gold Coin release featured 24-karat gold content in the 1 oz gold coins and offered the first-ever depiction of Liberty as an African-American woman. Right now, 2017-W 1 oz Proof 225th Anniversary American Liberty Gold Coins are available to purchase online from JM Bullion with PCGS certification.

Each 2017-W 1 oz Proof 225th Anniversary American Liberty Gold Coin in this product listing earned a near-perfect certification from the PCGS. Coins in PR69 condition exhibit full, original mint luster and no more than two minor detracting flaws. Examples of acceptable flaws at this level include only minuscule contact marks and hairlines found outside of the primary focal points of the coin.

The included DCAM designation with these coins indicates the products have deep-cameo proof visuals. This means each coin has strong, frosted design elements overlaying deeply-mirrored, clear background fields.

Please bear in mind that the 2024 date on the included slab label indicates the timing of a special sale by the US Mint. In 2024, the US Mint auctioned back-dated coins, such as these 2017 Proof American Liberty Gold Coins. The coin’s original date is 2017, and the 2024 date on the label indicates its auction release following the US Mint’s special sale.

The 2017 Proof 225th Anniversary American Liberty Gold Coin was issued to help the US Mint celebrate the 225th anniversary of its founding. The Coinage Act of 1792 authorized the establishment of the United States Mint and set the groundwork for the original denominations the United States would issue in its new currency.

On the obverse side of each 2017-W 1 oz Proof 225th Anniversary American Liberty Gold Coin is a left-profile bust of Liberty. This new-age depiction captures Liberty with the appearance and characteristics of an African-American woman for the first time in American history. She wears a flowing robe with a crown of stars on her head.

The reverse face of 2017-W 1 oz Proof 225th Anniversary American Liberty Gold Coins depicts the American bald eagle in flight. The details of each feather in the plumage of the bird are visible as the bird soars through the design field. Each of these coins is struck in high relief to create a sunken field and deliver greater 3D visual depth to the design elements.
