2023-P 1-oz Silver American Liberty 2-pc Proof Set NGC PF70 w/Mercanti & Ryder Signature Labels

A Growing Nation Yearning To Be Free!

Liberty is one of the most important founding principles of the United States—it’s right there in the Pledge of Allegiance where it states, “With liberty and justice for all.” Beginning in 2015, the United States Mint has celebrated this treasured American value with one-year-only coins and medals that feature modern interpretations of the concept of American Liberty. For the 2023 silver medal, that interpretation is a pristine image of a bristlecone pine—among the oldest living organisms on Earth—serving as a bold representation of the perseverance of the passion for American liberty.

Two-Piece Set Features Mercanti & Ryder Signatures

Here you can not one, but TWO of these gleaming treasures each signed by one of the biggest figures in the numismatic world: John Meranti and GOVMINT Ambassador David Ryder! Mercanti, the U.S. Mint’s now-retired 12th Chief Engraver, has produced more coin and medal designs than any person in U.S. Mint history. Ryder, former 34th and 39th Director of the U.S. Mint who served from 1992 to 1993 and from 2018 to 2021, was named by Coin World as one of its “Most Influential People in Numismatics.”

An Indomitable Symbol Of America

Though not a legal-tender coin, this piece was struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% silver and captures the independent nature of Americans everywhere in the through the persona of the bristlecone pine, a species native to California, Nevada, and Utah. Bristlecone pines grow in places where other plants simply can’t. With a lifespan of around 5,000 years, they’re also often the first species to begin growing again following cataclysmic changes such as a lava run or glacial runoff. Inscriptions on the design are “LIBERTY,” “WE SHALL PERSEVERE,” and “2023.”

Gorgeous Proofs Struck By The “Mother Mint”

Complementing the pine tree is a reverse design that depicts a young bald eagle standing on a rocky outcropping moments before it takes flight. Wrapping around the top of the design is an inscription that reads “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.” Together they create a pair of metaphors that illustrate the spirit of American Liberty in a whole new way. Plus, each medal was struck by the “Mother Mint” in Philadelphia in gorgeous proof condition, meaning they were expertly crafted from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields! the designs seem to leap from the surface!
