The 2017-W American Liberty High Relief Gold Coin is a one-ounce, .9999 fine gold proof coin struck by the United States Mint at the West Point facility and graded PR70 by the Professional Coin Grading Service. It carries a face value of $100 and represents one of the most technically demanding coin productions the Mint has undertaken in the modern era. The high relief format distinguishes it immediately from standard bullion issues, with deeply sculpted design elements that require multiple strikes at extraordinary pressure to achieve their finished form.
We carry this coin in its certified PR70 state, meaning the graded example you receive has been evaluated and encapsulated by PCGS as a perfect specimen with no post-production imperfections visible under standard magnification. For collectors and serious buyers, that certification removes the guesswork entirely.

The American Liberty series was introduced by the United States Mint in 2015 as a high-relief gold program designed to celebrate American ideals through modernized numismatic art. The series departed from the longstanding traditions of the American Gold Eagle and Buffalo programs by introducing a contemporary interpretation of Liberty, drawing on classical design precedents while projecting a distinctly modern aesthetic.
The 2017 edition followed the inaugural 2015 issue and continued the Mint's commitment to using .9999 fine gold, a purity standard that exceeds the .9167 fine composition of the American Gold Eagle. West Point, which carries the "W" mint mark, has long served as the Mint's home for high-quality proof and commemorative production, and its role in striking the American Liberty series reflects the technical precision the program demands.
The high relief format itself has deep roots in American coinage history, most notably through Augustus Saint-Gaudens' acclaimed 1907 ultra-high relief double eagle. The 2017 American Liberty coin revisits that tradition with 21st-century minting technology, producing a depth of relief that would have been impossible to achieve at commercial scale a century earlier.
The obverse features a bold, forward-facing portrait of Liberty rendered in a contemporary African American artistic tradition, designed by Justin Kunz and sculpted by Phebe Hemphill. The figure wears a crown of stars and radiates a sense of movement and strength that distinguishes the design from more conventional depictions. The inscriptions "LIBERTY" and "2017," along with the "IN GOD WE TRUST" motto, are integrated cleanly into the field without crowding the central portrait.
The reverse, designed by Chris Costello and sculpted by Joseph Menna, presents an eagle mid-flight viewed from above, with its wings partially folded as it descends. The composition conveys energy and precision rather than the static, heraldic posture typical of eagles on American coinage. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "$100," "1 OZ.," ".9999 FINE GOLD," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" complete the reverse design.
The high relief format gives both sides an almost sculptural quality. Fields are deeply mirrored, and the raised design elements catch light at multiple angles, producing visual contrast that standard proof coins cannot replicate. At one ounce, the coin carries enough mass to give the relief genuine physical presence in hand.
The .9999 fine gold composition is confirmed through the United States Mint's own production and assay standards, which are among the most rigorous applied by any sovereign mint globally. Each coin is struck at West Point under conditions designed to produce flawless proof surfaces, and the high relief format requires a level of die precision and striking force that further ensures dimensional consistency across every example.
The PCGS PR70 grade adds an additional, independent layer of verification. As an authorized PCGS dealer, we handle and source certified coins in a manner consistent with PCGS standards. The encapsulated holder provides tamper-evident protection while preserving the coin's surfaces and eliminating any ambiguity about grade or authenticity. Buyers receive exactly what the certification label states, with no interpretation required.
A PCGS PR70 grade designates a perfect proof specimen. The coin exhibits no contact marks, hairlines, or blemishes of any kind under 5x magnification, and the proof surfaces, including fully mirrored fields and frosted design elements, are entirely intact. For a coin of this caliber, the PR70 designation is the ceiling of what certification can confirm.
The coin ships encapsulated in its PCGS slab, which serves as both its protective housing and its authentication document. The slab includes the coin's certification number, grade, and description, all of which can be independently verified through the PCGS registry. No additional packaging is needed to preserve the coin's condition, as the encapsulation is designed to protect indefinitely under normal storage conditions.
Pricing for the 2017-W American Liberty High Relief Gold Coin reflects both the current spot price of gold and the significant numismatic premium that a PCGS PR70 certified coin commands. Spot price establishes the base value of one troy ounce of .9999 fine gold, but the certified grade, limited mintage, high relief format, and collector demand all contribute meaningfully to the premium above that figure.
Because this is a graded numismatic coin rather than a standard bullion issue, its premium is driven more by collector market conditions than by generic bullion supply and demand. Market recognition of the American Liberty series, the desirability of the PR70 grade, and the availability of certified examples in the secondary market all factor into pricing at any given time. We price this coin with full transparency relative to current market conditions, and our bid/ask spread reflects real-time wholesale market dynamics rather than fixed retail markups.
The 2017-W American Liberty High Relief Gold Coin in PCGS PR70 trades within an active numismatic market supported by collectors, registry set builders, and buyers who prioritize certified quality over raw bullion. The combination of sovereign issuance, a recognized grading service, and a limited production run makes certified examples of this coin consistently identifiable in secondary market transactions.
We operate a two-way market, which means we provide competitive buyback pricing for coins like this alongside our retail offerings. Understanding liquidity before making a purchase is something we actively encourage, and our platform is structured to support both sides of the transaction. For a certified coin of this profile, resale occurs within a well-defined marketplace where the PCGS label does meaningful work in establishing trust and grade transparency between buyer and seller.
The 2017-W American Liberty High Relief Gold Coin occupies a distinct position between bullion and numismatics. It delivers one ounce of .9999 fine gold with the backing of the United States Mint, while the high relief production process and contemporary design elevate it beyond the characteristics of a standard bullion coin. For buyers who want certified gold that carries genuine artistic and numismatic significance, this coin represents a compelling option.
The PCGS PR70 grade eliminates condition-related uncertainty entirely. Buyers do not need to evaluate the coin independently or make assumptions about its surface quality. The certification provides a standardized, third-party assessment that the broader collector market accepts and transacts on, which matters both at the time of acquisition and when the coin changes hands again in the future.
As an authorized PCGS dealer, we are positioned to handle and present certified coins accurately and responsibly. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions, and the bid/ask spread displayed on each product page gives buyers an honest picture of the full transaction rather than just the acquisition price. That transparency is central to how we operate.
Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau, membership in both the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association, and authorized dealer relationships with PCGS and NGC reflect the standards we hold ourselves to across every transaction. We do not rely on pressure-based selling or obscure pricing structures. Our goal is to give informed buyers access to quality certified coins within a marketplace built on clarity and long-term trust, backed by responsive support and secure, reliable fulfillment.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing, which is particularly relevant for a numismatic product like the 2017-W American Liberty PR70 where premium levels can shift meaningfully with collector demand and secondary market activity. Rather than relying on static retail pricing, Pro members can observe how premiums and spreads evolve in real time, giving them a clearer picture of where the market actually sits at any given moment.
Pro also provides real-time portfolio valuation based on live wholesale bid pricing, so members holding certified coins can assess current liquidation values rather than working from estimated retail figures. Combined with our proprietary market intelligence tools and product research capabilities, Pro is designed to help buyers evaluate certified gold coins with the same kind of data-driven discipline commonly applied to other asset classes.
We support a broad range of payment methods to make every transaction straightforward and secure. Buyers can complete purchases using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, or cryptocurrency via BitPay. Each option is integrated into a secure checkout process designed to protect both payment data and transaction integrity from start to finish.
