This coin comes out July 30th 2015 from the US Mint. I love to collect the .9999 gold buffalo's and wanted to get forum thoughts on this particular piece. "The 2015-W American Liberty, High Relief gold coin to be issued by the U.S. Mint will be a 1-ounce .9999 fine gold piece that will carry a face value of $100, becoming the United States' first gold coin to bear that denomination. The first U.S. coin to carry the $100 denomination is the American Eagle 1-ounce platinum coin introduced in 1997."  Side note: The coin is limited to a maximum release of 50,000 coins. http://www.coinworld.com/news/2015-...july-30.htmlEdited by tripncoins

Thank goodness I don't like it. Won't have to use money saved for real coins. Skinny Liberty with a terrible hair day and an eagle that just got kicked off a cliff.

BIG PASSSSSS!
In my opinion, ugly coin. On top of that, over priced. This coin will be on the secondary market and for much less than issue price, all you have to do is a wait a few months or a year.
The US Mint needs to make better designs, its getting pretty stale over there.

Likely will sell-out on the first day if they don't add in a household limit. This is the first and only U.S. issue gold coin with a $100 face value. IIRC, the actual issue price has not been released.

No. Too plain. Give me a good old golden-age 1920's/30's classic design.

I hate to say it, but I have to. The very first time I saw a pic of this coin, it was not on context of being the high relief 2015. It was a smaller pic... not a closeup. And I wondered why Medusa was on the OBV.  The I saw a closeup and saw just how beautiful the depiction of Liberty really is. I cannot help it, but now everytime I see a pic, the first thought comes back. Look at a smaller pic - you will likely see what I mean. But... now that I know what it is and how pretty it is, it would be nice to have one. I can dream  |

I'd prefer seeing a 1/2 to 3/4 portrait like the $10 Indian vs. Liberty holding flag and torch, the design lacks the classic appeal. This will properly be one of the lowest sales from the Mint? And then twenty years from now, everyone would wonder "Why I didn't purchase it."!

I like it, personally. Have they indicated what the price is likely to be? I keep thinking of the last high relief gold coin the mint issued (the 2009 Ultra High Relief American Gold Eagle) that still sells for something like $2000 despite the fact that gold prices have cratered since the coin was minted. With a mintage of only 50,000, I think this has a chance of being another winner.

I don't find the design compelling at all.

My opinion - this isn't a coin - it is a medal with a $ value on it. The $ value is useless and has little meaning in the context of coins. It is a contrived "coin" that does little but generate profits for the mint. It won't be a series (thank god), and has no tie to any previous coin release. The dollar value on the coin is unique - but heck - gold is selling for $1100 and ounce and you have the chance to pay $1500 for a $100 coin worth $1100 and say you have one.
This will be a bullion release and way over priced at that.

I hate the reverse but kinda love the obverse. I love the flag. Anyway... I think this will be a hit then fizzle after a few months. It will always carry a premium but not as much as the 2009 high relief

This will be a bullion release and way over priced at that. You have a good point. I believe these will sell out quickly and probably will be gone within 24 hours but what happens with pieces the big boys buy in bulk and end up with a 69 grade? There's a chance you could buy a 69 slabbed piece on the secondary market for $1250 or so. It looks like I'll be waiting to see.  |
