American Liberty 2015-W combines a modern personification of Liberty with a striking high-relief finish. With a face value of 100 US dollars, this issue appeals to collectors of American gold who appreciate expressive sculpture and national symbolism.
Gold and the West Point Mint
Struck by the United States Mint, the coin contains 1 troy ounce of .9999 fine gold, approximately 31.1 g. Its diameter is 30.61 mm and the edge is reeded. Produced at West Point, the 2015 issue introduced a new interpretation of Liberty. The raised relief brings out the modelling of the figure and her drapery.
Grading and holder
The specimen is housed in an NGC holder labelled MS70, Early Releases. The certificate number on the label is 4291492-004. MS denotes Mint State; this issue should not be confused with a Proof finish. The holder allows the coin to be viewed without removing it from its protective enclosure.
Obverse and reverse
Obverse depicts a standing Liberty crowned with leaves and holding a torch and the American flag. The inscriptions include LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST and the year 2015.
Reverse shows a bald eagle in flight carrying an olive branch in its talons. The inscriptions identify the issuing country, the 100-dollar denomination and one ounce of .9999 fine gold.
