The 2017 W $100 American Liberty High Relief Gold Coin is a Coin of the Year award winner and commemorates the 225th anniversary of the founding of the United States Mint. To mark this milestone, the coin is dual-dated 1792-2017. Struck in 24-karat gold with a high-relief proof finish, this 1 oz coin showcases a bold, modern depiction of Liberty. For the first time in U.S. coin history, Liberty is portrayed as an African American woman, symbolizing America's evolving ideals.

Coin Design

  • Obverse - Designed by Justin Kunz, the obverse features a left-facing profile of an African American woman with braided hair adorned with a diadem of four stars, representing freedom and hope.
  • Reverse - Engraved by Michael Gaudioso, the reverse showcases a powerful bald eagle in mid-flight, wings down stretched, embodying strength and determination as it looks toward new opportunities.

Michael Gaudioso Signature

Each coin features Coin Advisor's exclusive U.S. Mint Engraver Series label, hand-signed by Michael Gaudioso, the engraver of the coin's reverse design. Each coin is graded PF 70 Ultra Cameo by NGC, ensuring its perfect condition. The population of this coin featuring this Gaudioso-signed label is limited to 40 or less, making this an incredibly rare collector's item.

2024 West Point Mint Hoard

These coins were stored at the West Point Mint and are now available to collectors as part of the 2024 West Point Mint Hoard. Only 9,565 2017 W $100 American Liberty High Relief Gold Coins were discovered—less than 20% of the total mintage.

First U.S. Mint High Relief Proof Coin

This coin is the first high-relief proof coin ever struck by the United States Mint, adding exceptional depth and life-like detail to Liberty and the bold eagle. The Ultra Cameo proof finish further enhances the design, featuring frosted, raised elements set against polished, mirror-like fields, creating a striking contrast that highlights the coin's intricate details.

American Liberty Series

Launched in 2015, the American Liberty series offers modern interpretations of Liberty. The series reflects America's evolving ideals, featuring high-relief gold coins and silver medals. The concept stems from a 2013 proposal by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) to present Liberty in fresh, diverse ways. New designs are issued every two years.
