2016-W 1/4-oz Gold Standing Liberty Quarter Centennial NGC SP70 w/Mercanti Signature

The Only U.S. GOLD Quarter Ever Struck!

Beautifully struck by the West Point Mint in a quarter ounce of 99.99% pure 24-karat gold, this 2016 centennial anniversary release celebrates Hermon A. MacNeil’s famous “Standing Liberty” design featured on United States quarters struck from 1916 to 1930. And, to fully commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the release of the Standing Liberty Quarter, the U.S. Mint struck the coin with the original “scandalous” design that showed Miss Liberty’s right breast exposed. At the time of its release in 1916, the design caused such an uproar that The Mint was forced to modify the design in the latter part of 1917 to cover it up.
