Statue-Of-Liberty

I always liked this coin, I know its gold and seem to recall that there were multiple designs (maybe a set of 3 coins?) Could anyone tell me a little more... like how many were produced and what the other designs were.

Many thanks

There was a silver dollar and a clad half also issued and all three were available in proof or uncirculated versions. There were plenty of them produced, your proof $5 coin has a mintage of 404,013, and the proof dollar had 6,925,627! Proceeds for the coins went to the restoration of the statue of liberty.

1986 s dollar with poor toning

Nice designs, maybe I will try to pick up the silver coins to go with it.

And I hope they fully restored the Statue of Liberty to her former glory :)

Yes, there were multiple sets:

If you plan to collect more US coins, look into buying a Red Book. It'll help out a lot:

There is a spiral and a Kindle version too. I really like the spiral version, since the book stays open and there is no binding to break.

^^ thanks for the links...

I probably should get a Red Book but I only have a mild interest in US coins (I like the designs but being from UK I cant fish through my change and have champagne taste and beer money on the most part)

I looked on ebay, there were a few of the silver dollar coins for sale but the majority will only ship to America. I am finding that quite annoying really! Maybe I am unaware of some law or something but as far as I can see if the buyer is prepared to pay the appropriate Postage Fee then what does it matter where he lives?

I bought a 1899 black eagle note the other day and when I went to pay it wouldnt let me... I messaged the guy telling him to invoice me and add another $10 but still no reply...arrrgh!

Back on topic I will add some more US coins to my collection if I get the oppertunity to buy some at good prices or some lots.
