Historical Background & Mintage
The 1986 Statue of Liberty Centennial Gold Coin was authorized by Congress to help fund the restoration of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Struck at the West Point Mint, this $5 gold piece was the first modern commemorative gold coin issued by the United States and the first U.S. coin to bear the “W” mint mark.
Only 500,000 proof coins were authorized for mintage, making this a limited issue from the very beginning. The 1986-W Statue of Liberty Gold Proof quickly became a collector favorite due to its beautiful design featuring a close-up portrait of the Statue of Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse.
Because of its historical significance, low mintage, and status as the first modern commemorative gold coin, the 1986-W Statue of Liberty Centennial in perfect PR-70 Deep Cameo condition represents both exceptional numismatic quality and strong investment potential.
Perfect for collectors of U.S. commemorative gold, Statue of Liberty memorabilia, or anyone seeking the highest grade example of this iconic American coin.
