Description

Struck in .9999 fine, 24–karat gold, this Standing Liberty Centennial Gold Coin anniversary release celebrates Hermon A. MacNeil’s original “Standing Liberty” quarter design. Each coin contains one–quarter troy ounce of 24–karat gold, symbolic of the coin’s denomination, and has a business strike finish.

Each coin is encapsulated and hand–packaged in a custom–designed, black matte hardwood presentation case and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.

In 2016, the U.S. Mint will mark the centenary anniversary of three numismatic icons with the release of the Mercury Dime, Standing Liberty Quarter, and Walking Liberty Half Dollar Centennial Gold Coins.
