2017 W 1 oz High Relief American Liberty Gold PR70 DCAM PCGS FirstStrike
Struck at the West Point Mint in 2017, this American Liberty 225th Anniversary High Relief Gold coin is sealed in a PCGS holder and graded PR70 DCAM, a perfect Proof grade with deeply mirrored fields and frosted, cameo devices. It carries the PCGS FirstStrike designation, which identifies coins among the earliest shipped from the U.S. Mint within 30 days of release.
Issued to mark the 225th anniversary of the U.S. Mint, it presents a modern rendition of Liberty as an African American woman wearing a crown of stars, the first time the Mint portrayed Liberty this way. The reverse shows a bold eagle in flight. Struck in .9999 fine gold in high relief with a proof finish, this coin contains one full troy ounce of gold.
