@jbuck/cptbilly: Thanks for the images!
I like the eagle side of these medals - I find it quite interesting. I'm not much of a fan of the sunflower side, however, as I don't find it to be a strong representation of the medal's "Liberty" theme.

commems, I have exactly opposite feelings. The sunflower and bee are quite beautiful and unlike any other US Mint releases (I'm a big-time flower gardener, so I might be a bit biased). I do agree that the link with "Liberty" is quite tenuous. The eagle, however, seems to be screaming in pain at having its left wing twisted behind its back.

Back to processing status here as well. Maybe they just needed to assemble more product. Who knows.

I have been eyeing the 1982 Netherlands 50 gulden note for a long time but haven't yet pulled the trigger. I think this would make a great combo for display.  Edited by CelticKnot

That is a very fine not, CelticKnot. And the images are certainly similar.

Just received my ship notification on this one. Now really need to decide if I'm going to drop the coin on the gorgeous note above.  Edited by CelticKnot

In today's "Coin News," the weekly report on US Mint sales includes two paragraphs on the 2025 American Liberty issues: Quote:
The 2025 American Liberty issues launched on Aug. 21. The 12,000-mintage 2025-W $100 High Relief Gold Coin lasted nearly 2 1/2 hours before first becoming unavailable, with an opening total of 7,350. The figure stayed relatively steady for weeks until sales briefly reopened, lifting it by more than 4,000. The latest data shows it down 3 to 11,972.
The companion 60,000-mintage 2025-P Silver Medal, which became unavailable the day after release, debuted with reported sales of 28,888. Over the past three weeks, it has shown only modest changes, most recently dipping by 12 to 29,943.  Mint's e-commerce site still shows this item as unavailable, "but it may be restocked later" and offers a "Remind Me" button. " Even a clock that's stopped is right twice a day. "
