The 2019-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. It carries a $100 face value and belongs to the American Liberty series, which the Mint relaunched as a flagship numismatic gold program beginning in 2015. This particular example has been certified PR70 by PCGS with a First Strike designation, confirming it was submitted within the first 30 days of release and achieved a perfect grade across all examined surfaces.
We carry this coin in its certified PCGS slab, which protects the grade, authenticates the coin, and makes it immediately ready for display or storage. As an authorized PCGS dealer, we are positioned to offer graded coins with full confidence in their certified status.

This particular example has been certified PR70 by PCGS with a First Strike designation, confirming it was submitted within the first 30 days of release and achieved a perfect grade across all examined surfaces.
We carry this coin in its certified PCGS slab, which protects the grade, authenticates the coin, and makes it immediately ready for display or storage. As an authorized PCGS dealer, we are positioned to offer graded coins with full confidence in their certified status.
The American Liberty series was introduced by the United States Mint in 2015 as a rotating program designed to celebrate liberty through modern artistic interpretations rather than traditional portraiture. The series was intended to break from the classical imagery found on most U.S. coinage and present liberty as a living, evolving ideal rather than a static symbol. Each release in the series carries a new design, and the high relief format was incorporated to allow for greater sculptural depth and artistic expression than standard coin production allows.
The 2019 edition continued this tradition, featuring a design that was developed through the Mint's Artistic Infusion Program. West Point has long served as the home of the Mint's premium gold coin production, including the American Gold Eagle proof series, making it the natural setting for the American Liberty program. The high relief designation distinguishes these coins from standard bullion issues, as the striking process requires additional pressure and specialized die preparation to achieve the pronounced three-dimensional effect characteristic of the series.
The obverse features a contemporary portrait of Lady Liberty rendered in a modern, sculptural style that reflects the Mint's intent to depict liberty as diverse and forward-looking. The figure is shown in profile with strong, intentional lines and a confident bearing, with "LIBERTY" and "IN GOD WE TRUST" inscribed alongside the year of issue. The high relief striking elevates the portrait off the surface of the coin in a way that creates visible depth and shadow, making the design appear almost three-dimensional when viewed at an angle.
The reverse depicts a bold American eagle in flight, wings extended and body turned in a powerful diagonal composition. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," "$100," and "1 OZ. .9999 FINE GOLD" appear on the reverse, integrating the coin's legal and compositional identity into the design without cluttering the visual field. The proof finish combines highly polished mirror fields with frosted, textured devices, a contrast that is particularly striking given the depth of relief involved in this design.
This coin was struck to the United States Mint's proof standards using .9999 fine gold, one of the highest purity levels applied to any U.S. government-issued gold coin. The proof striking process involves polished planchets, specially prepared dies, and multiple strikes to bring out the full detail of the high relief design. These production standards leave little room for variation, and each coin undergoes quality review at the Mint before release.
PCGS certification provides an additional layer of authentication and grade verification. A PR70 designation indicates that no post-production imperfections are visible under standard magnification, and the First Strike label confirms the coin was received and submitted for grading within the first 30 days of the Mint's official release. As an authorized PCGS dealer, we offer these coins with full confidence in the grading and encapsulation process that backs every slab.
This coin is certified PR70 First Strike by PCGS, representing a perfect grade with no detectable contact marks, hairlines, or surface defects under standard grading conditions. The First Strike designation adds a layer of provenance that appeals to collectors who track early production examples within a series. A PR70 example of any proof coin is the ceiling of what the PCGS scale allows, and for a high relief issue with this level of sculptural complexity, achieving that grade speaks to the precision of the West Point striking process.
The coin is encapsulated in a tamper-evident PCGS slab with a certification label identifying the coin, its grade, and its First Strike status. The slab itself protects the coin's surfaces from handling damage and is accompanied by a PCGS certification number that can be verified directly through their registry. When we ship graded coins, the slab is packed securely to prevent movement or impact during transit, ensuring the coin arrives in the same condition it left our facility.
Pricing for this coin reflects both the current spot price of gold and the premium associated with its certified status, limited mintage, and high relief production format. Unlike standard one-ounce bullion coins, which trade closer to spot, graded proof coins from the American Liberty series carry premiums that are influenced by collector demand, registry population data, and the relative scarcity of perfect-grade examples at the time of sale.
The PR70 First Strike label can meaningfully affect market pricing, particularly for series with active PCGS registry communities. Population reports showing how many PR70 FS examples exist for a given coin date directly influence how buyers and dealers price those pieces. We structure our pricing to reflect current market conditions transparently, so the premium you see is grounded in what the market actually supports rather than an arbitrary markup.
The American Liberty High Relief series maintains a dedicated collector base, and certified examples in top grades are actively traded through dealer networks, auction houses, and direct-to-collector channels. A PCGS PR70 First Strike coin from a recognized U.S. Mint program is among the more liquid products in the numismatic gold market, supported by verifiable grading, recognized certification, and a clear population context that buyers can reference independently.
We operate as a two-way market, meaning customers can both purchase and sell precious metals through the same platform. For certified numismatic coins, our buyback pricing reflects both the current gold content value and the market premium associated with the specific coin's grade and designation. Understanding that resale dynamic before making a purchase is something we actively encourage, and our platform is designed to give you the information needed to evaluate both sides of the transaction.
This coin occupies a distinct position in the U.S. Mint's catalog. It combines government-backed issuance, .9999 fine gold content, and an artistic production format that goes well beyond what standard bullion programs offer. The high relief striking process is expensive and time-intensive, which is part of why mintages for American Liberty coins remain low relative to the American Gold Eagle program. That combination of artistic ambition and controlled production contributes to the collector appeal that drives premiums above standard bullion pricing.
A PCGS PR70 First Strike example represents the top of the grading scale for this issue, with the added provenance of early delivery and certification. For collectors who participate in the PCGS registry or who track the American Liberty series across multiple years, a perfect-grade coin from this year strengthens a collection in a way that a lower-grade example simply cannot. The coin is also a fully recognized legal tender issue, which provides institutional credibility alongside its numismatic merit.
We have been operating as a precious metals dealer since 2010, and our A rating with the Better Business Bureau reflects the consistency of the experience we have built over that time. Our memberships in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association reflect our commitment to operating according to recognized industry standards. As an authorized dealer for both PCGS and NGC, we are positioned to offer certified coins with full confidence in the grading process that underlies each one.
Transparency defines how we operate. Our pricing reflects real market conditions, our bid/ask spreads are displayed on each product page, and our two-way market model ensures that customers have a clear picture of what a coin is worth on both sides of a transaction before committing to a purchase. We do not use pressure-based sales tactics or obscure the true cost of ownership behind complexity. Our goal is to give you the information you need to make an informed decision and then fulfill the order accurately, securely, and on time.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members direct access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across our catalog, including certified numismatic gold coins like this one. For a product where premiums are driven by collector demand, PCGS population data, and market timing, having visibility into real-time wholesale pricing provides a meaningful advantage over relying on static retail listings. Pro members also have access to proprietary analytics that help contextualize premiums relative to historical levels, which is particularly useful when evaluating whether the current market for a specific certified coin reflects typical conditions or an outlier moment.
Portfolio valuation through Pro uses live wholesale bid pricing rather than estimated retail values, giving members a more accurate picture of what their holdings are worth at current market liquidation levels. For collectors and buyers who hold multiple certified coins, this distinction matters. Understanding the real-time wholesale bid on a PR70 First Strike coin versus what a dealer might list it at retail is the kind of pricing clarity that has traditionally been difficult to access, and Pro is built to close that gap.
We support a wide range of payment methods to make purchasing this coin as straightforward as possible. Major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover are accepted, as are PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, and cryptocurrency payments through BitPay. Each payment method is processed through a secure transaction environment designed to protect your information at every step.
Whether you prefer the speed of a wire transfer for a higher-value certified coin or the convenience of a credit card, the checkout process is structured to give you flexibility without sacrificing security. Every transaction is handled with the same attention to accuracy and fulfillment reliability that we apply across the entire platform.
