Earlier this year, we offered customers an opportunity to buy 2016 gold “Walkers” at an incredible discount. Within a couple days of our announcement, customers had scooped up every coin we had! We’ve been on the lookout for more of these coins – and our searching finally paid off. You’ll be surprised what we found, but even more shocked by the price.
The Walking Liberty design is widely considered one of America’s finest coinage motifs. It was first introduced in 1916 on the silver Half Dollar, but remains in use today on the American Silver Eagles. Having appeared on two mass-produced U.S. coins, it has become one of the most iconic and well-known images in all of numismatics. Hundreds of millions of coins have been struck with the beautiful Walking Liberty design.
In 2016, the U.S. Mint celebrated the 100th anniversary of this beloved design by releasing a commemorative half-ounce gold Walking Liberty Half Dollar. The coin is virtually identical to the original 1916 Half Dollar, except it is struck in 24K (.9999 fine) gold and dated 2016-W. If you’ve never seen one before, it is a gorgeous recreation of the original design – and one of the most intriguing coins ever released by the U.S. Mint!
Today, we have a limited quantity of 2016-W Gold “Walkers” in PCGS SP70 First Strike. The abbreviation SP is short for “Specimen,” meaning that the coin exhibits an unusual finish unlike a normal business strike or Proof. These gold Walking Liberties have a rich satiny luster much like the original 1916 silver coin. Each coin is in flawless condition; the experts at PCGS awarded these pieces the ultimate grade! Furthermore, these coins carry the popular First Strike designation, meaning that the coin was released by the U.S. Mint within the first 30 days of issue.
On top of all this, each coin is encapsulated with a special PCGS label. The front features an image of Adolph Weinman, the creator of the Walking Liberty design, with a facsimile of his signature underneath. The back of the label displays the coin’s grade of SP70 and the First Strike designation. Not only is this a highly attractive holder, but it has an extremely low population too. According to PCGS, just 287 coins have been certified with this Adolph Weinman signature label!
Now for the best part: the price. These were released by the U.S. Mint at a cost of $890 per piece. Yet, today, we can offer these perfect gold “Walkers” at just $825 per coin! We believe that’s the absolute lowest price for any PCGS SP70 in the marketplace – let alone for a First Strike coin in this special holder. You’re getting perhaps the most desirable certified version at the best price!
The last time we offered gold Walkers for sale, our clients grabbed them instantly. We expect another rapid sellout of these perfectly-graded PCGS-certified coins. Quantities are extremely limited, so we encourage you to act quickly.
