Historical Background

The 1986 Statue of Liberty Centennial coins were issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the dedication of the Statue of Liberty. Authorized by Congress, the program included a clad half dollar, a silver dollar, and this gold $5 half eagle. The gold piece was the first modern commemorative gold coin issued by the United States since 1929 and helped reintroduce the public to gold bullion and commemorative coinage.

The obverse features a close-up portrait of the Statue of Liberty's head, while the reverse displays a powerful eagle with outstretched wings. The "W" mintmark signifies it was struck at the West Point Mint, making it particularly desirable for collectors assembling complete sets of modern U.S. commemoratives.

A perfect PCGS PR-70 DCAM example such as this represents the finest quality available. With its deep, mirror-like fields and heavily frosted devices creating incredible contrast, this coin is a stunning showcase piece that will appeal to both numismatic enthusiasts and those seeking premium gold investments.

Perfect for collectors of: Modern Commemoratives, Statue of Liberty Coins, PCGS Registry Sets, U.S. Gold Coins, and American Historical Memorabilia.
