Description

The 2017 (W) Proof American Liberty High Relief .9999 Fine Gold One Hundred Dollar is a proof $100 gold coin struck at the West Point Mint, part of the American Liberty Gold 2015 to Date series. The West Point Mint struck 49,697 proof American Liberty $100 gold coins dated 2017. The obverse features Justin Kunz's Liberty in profile wearing a crown of stars, the first U.S. coin to portray Liberty as an African American woman, and the reverse displays Chris Costello's eagle in flight. A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. As a proof issue, this coin was struck multiple times on specially prepared polished planchets using polished dies, producing mirror-like fields and frosted design elements. Struck in 99.99% gold, weighing 31.1 grams, 30.6 mm in diameter, with a lettered edge. Cataloged as PCGS #624310.
