2015 W 1 oz High Relief American Liberty Gold MS70 PCGS FirstStrike
Struck at the West Point Mint in 2015, this inaugural American Liberty High Relief Gold coin is sealed in a PCGS holder and graded MS70, a perfect Mint State grade. It carries the PCGS FirstStrike designation, which identifies coins among the earliest shipped from the U.S. Mint within 30 days of release.
The first $100 gold coin ever issued by the U.S. Mint, it presents a modern rendition of Lady Liberty carrying the familiar torch and an American flag, surrounded by "Liberty" and "In God We Trust." The reverse shows an American eagle in flight, gripping an olive branch in its talons. Struck in .9999 fine gold in high relief, this coin contains one full troy ounce of gold.
