American Liberty 2022 Silver Medal

I'll be getting one.

Set up the reminder for the 18th. Nice design.

I'll try to get one.

Leaning on 'Maybe'

I like it. Nice design front and back, good clamshell packaging. 75,000 mintage. The designs on the silver medal match those of the 2021-W $100 Proof American Liberty Gold Coin which really looked good but was $2,715. It was limited to 12,500 pieces and lasted for about 24 hours before selling out. The silver medal will not have a high relief like its gold counterpart however. Other differences include a plain edge versus the gold's coin reeded edge and production locations and mint marks — striking at the Philadelphia Mint and "P" mint mark for the silver medal versus the gold coin's minting at West Point and its "W" mint mark.

The design was conceptualized and executed by Beth Zaiken, an artist in the Artistic Infusion Program (AIP), and sculpted by medallic artist Craig Campbell. The coin's reverse features a close-up profile of a bald eagle, designed by Richard Masters and sculpted by Phebe Hemphill. Zaiken signs certification labels exclusively for NGC, and medals encapsulated with the NGC Beth Zaiken Signature Label for those into that will also be available through select retailers.

It's a yes for me.

It does, but the gold version was also a high relief coin. The silver medal will not have a high relief like its gold counterpart however. This raised design is the most striking and perhaps the most noticeable characteristic of high relief and ultra high relief coins. It gives them a 3D aesthetic and one that transfixes many coin collectors if done right. The differences between a high relief coin and an ultra high relief coin lie in the way it is struck and the height of the design, with ultra high relief coins going the extra mile.
