West Point Mint Hoard
At the end of each year's production, the U.S. Mint usually collects any of its unsold coins bearing the "W" mintmark, removes them from their packaging, and melts them down. We say "usually" because in 2019 the Mint discovered it had some leftover stock including these High Relief $100 coins. Rather than melt them, the Mint made a surprise move and sold them to a buyer in a private auction. The coins that escaped the melting pot, have been designated by PCGS as the "West Point Mint Hoard".

United States Mint American Liberty Program celebrates modern renditions of the iconic Liberty that embody the ideals of freedom and equality first set forth in our Declaration of Independence. In the 227 years since its establishment, the United States Mint has issued a vast array of coins with the concept of Liberty personified by allegorical female figures. Today's American Liberty Coins are reinvigorating this motif with stunning, modern depictions of the allegorical Lady Liberty. Their images maintain our Nation's intimate connection with its history and founding principles, while at the same time recognizing our forward-looking diverse and dynamic population and culture.

The 2019 American Liberty High Relief Gold Coin is struck in 24-karat gold.
