In this unique product listing you have the opportunity to purchase $5 US Mint Commemorative Gold Coins. JM Bullion guarantees these coins will be in either BU or proof versions. A BU coin has no signs of wear and tear, though you may notice a range of minor flaws including breaks in the luster, spotted surfaces, or contact marks from the production process.
The gold coins available here today come from varied years of production, generally ranging from 1986 to 2011. JM Bullion cannot guarantee exactly which coin you’ll receive with your purchase today. The obverse and reverse design of the coin you get, as well as its status as a BU or proof specimen, is dependent upon the availability of coins in our warehouse when your order is processed for shipping.
Available designs include iconic people and moments such as the Statue of Liberty, former presidents, and the Star Spangled Banner. The Statue of Liberty is a design that features on countless American coins, and depicts the nation’s memorable symbol of freedom as it stands in New York City’s harbor.
The United States Mint is the official sovereign mint of America. Founded through passage of the Coinage Act of 1792, it started with a single building in Philadelphia and has grown and shrunk over the years. Today the Mint has four coining facilities: San Francisco, Denver, Philadelphia, and West Point. The bullion depository at Fort Knox is also part of the United States Mint and the Department of the Treasury.

“I just received my order for a few of these and even though I could not specify particular coins by design or year, I was pleased that JM Bullion sent me a variety of 11 different designs ranging from 1987-2016.
Each coin was in an individual plastic capsule allowing easy viewing of both sides.
These $5 commemoratives remind us that our currency used to have real intrinsic value since they have the same gold content–just under 1/4 oz–that the $5 coins 100 years ago had and that could be had in any bank for their face value of $5.”
