2018-W 10 Dollar Tenth-Ounce Gold Liberty NGC PF69UC FDI Mercanti Signed Black Core

The Second Year of a Historic Design in a Tenth-Ounce of 99.99% Pure Gold!

For more than 200 years, Lady Liberty has been a proud symbol of American independence, freedom and opportunity for millions of people in the United States and around the world. Over the years, the way we see her has changed to reflect the times and the eye of the interpreter. Either capped or with flowing hair, fully clothed or with an exposed breast, holding a shield, torch or olive branch – each version of Liberty is full of beauty, symbolism and representation. What we see in her is, ideally, what we'd like to see within all of us.

That evolution still continues today. In 2017, to herald its 225th anniversary, the United States Mint celebrated the momentous occasion by introducing the Gold American Liberty Proof. Featuring a new artistic interpretation of Lady Liberty, this critically-acclaimed coin became a media event both before and after its release. And now, for 2018, you can bring home a tenth-ounce version of this numismatic touchstone, still minted in amazing high relief from highly-pure 99.99% gold!

Each coin available in this offer has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) to be in near-perfect Proof-69 Ultra Cameo (PF69UC) condition. In addition, NGC has also certified your proof to be a First Day of Issue (FDI) coin, meaning it was received by NGC by the release date or on the business day within 24 hours of the official release date. This specially graded and certified  2018 Tenth-Ounce Gold American Liberty Proof will come sonically sealed in an acrylic case with a black core insert – providing you the best in protection while giving you clear sightlines and perfect visual contrast for every beautiful detail. What’s more, the case will also include a label personally signed by John Mercanti, the U.S. Mint’s 12th Chief Engraver!

Less than 300 proofs in the entire 135,000 mintage have been graded in this high condition – and all graded in Proof-70 have been completely sold out! Don’t miss your chance to add this historic, significant and high-grade American classic to your collection. Secure yours now!

• A HISTORIC DESIGN . . . – Designed by Justin Kunz and sculpted by Phebe Hemphill, this coin marks the second (and last) year of the inaugural American Liberty biennial series – imagining Lady Liberty through the prism of our nation's cultural and ethnic diversity. Like its 2017 predecessor, Liberty is portrayed as a beautiful African-American woman, wreathed with stars reminiscent of Thomas Crawford's "Statue of Freedom" that graces the top of the U.S. Capitol building.

• . . . STRUCK IN PHENOMENAL HIGH RELIEF! – Using the latest in technology, the renowned artisans at the West Point Mint have created a stunning high relief masterpiece in just a tenth-ounce of 99.99% pure gold! Each hand-selected planchet is struck multiple times with polished, curved dies to create a coin with frosted, razor-sharp details that rise over a deep concave field shimmering with mirror-like reflectivity.

• UNITED STATES LEGAL TENDER – Each 2018 Tenth-Ounce Gold American Liberty Proof is $10 United States of America legal tender, as seen on the coin's reverse along with a majestic eagle designed by Chris Costello and sculpted by Michael Gaudioso. In addition, the reverse also features the coin's weight, purity and a distinctive "W" – the mark of the West Point Mint.

• GRADED IN NEAR-PERFECT CONDITION – Your 2018-W Tenth-Ounce Gold Liberty Coin has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) to be in near-perfect Proof-69 Ultra Cameo (PF69UC) condition, a distinction that means your almost-flawless coin will showcase an impressive full strike and indistinguishable imperfections – well above and beyond the quality of the vast majority of coins in the series!
