The design, conceived by the renowned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, visually narrates the timeless elegance of Liberty. Her figure, surrounded by the rising sun's rays, offers a powerful symbol of enlightenment and success. On the reverse, we find the majestic depiction of a bald eagle in flight, beautifully tying in themes of freedom and sovereignty. Each element of this coin not only celebrates American artistic heritage but also contributes to its reputation as a pinnacle of numismatic beauty.

Made with the U.S. Mint's rigorous attention to detail, this gold coin carries a metal content of 22 karats, expertly alloyed for durability while maintaining its brilliant sheen. The coin's significant gold purity adds not only aesthetic biography but also practical value to its desirability, serving as a stable hedge against shifting markets. Since its inception, gold has been synonymous with wealth and prosperity, making this collectible not only an appealing acquisition but a wise investment.

With a limited mintage, owning one of these pieces ties you to a global community of collectors and investors who recognize the unique value of U.S. Mint bullion products.

Bullion Standard out of all the companies I researched offer the best spots and prices. My only complaint is I wish I had found this company a long time ago as it would have saved me a lot of money. They offer a wide selection for all your bullion needs. Items are packed with great care and shipping is fast. I highly recommend Bullion Standard for all your bullion needs and quit getting ripped offer by the " big guys" . I also recommend enrollment in Pro for the awesome extra savings on your purchases.

I am a great fan of Bullion Standard and have highly recommend this company for the spots and prices of all items. All items were well packed and shipping was quick. I had one issue with processing a purchase online and have been helped by customer service. Another time I paid the higher price since purchase was after hours...my lack of patience sometimes. All items I have purchased had the best prices out of dozens of companies I researched. I could not be more pleased even with a couple of bumps along the road. The quality, quantity and selection is great though if I had one request is that you offered 5 oz silver bars!!
