In 1915, the United States Mint held a competition to redesign the Dime, Quarter, and Half Dollar denominations. This contest resulted in three of the most beautiful designs to appear on American coinage: the Mercury Dime, Standing Liberty Quarter, and Walking Liberty Half Dollar. All three coins debuted in 1916 and received tremendous praise from the general public. Unfortunately, they disappeared from circulation over a century ago, but all three coins were reincarnated in 2016.
Last year, the U.S. Mint released a special three-coin Centennial set. Each of the famed 1916 coins was recreated in 24 karat gold! The modern 2016 versions look exactly like the 1916 originals, except for the date and metallic composition. These .9999 Gold Mercuries, Standing Quarters, and “Walkers” were a hit with collectors and were among the best-selling numismatic coins in recent memory.

Hermon Atkins MacNeil – Designer of Standing Liberty Quarter
Over the past few weeks, we’ve had the pleasure of offering two of the three coins in the 2016 Centennial series. Our batch of PCGS SP70 “Walkers” sold out in late November, followed by a superbly-priced (and fast-selling) group of PCGS SP70 “Mercs” last week. Now you have the opportunity to complete your Centennial collection, because now we’ve secured a group of Gold Standing Liberty Quarters!
Each of our Standing Liberty Quarters has been assigned the perfect grade of SP70 by PCGS. The acronym “SP” is short for Specimen; this is a reference to the coin’s unusual satiny finish. PCGS has also designated these SLQs as “First Strike,” meaning that they were certified within the first 30 days of release. Not only do the coins have the ultimate grade and the important First Strike credential, but they’re also paired with the highly attractive PCGS Centennial label.
What makes this offer ever better? The price! Today, we’re making these perfect SLQs available at just $449.95 per coin. Not only is this lower than the U.S. Mint price for an uncertified coin, but we believe it’s the lowest price of any seller in the marketplace. We’ve never seen 2016 Gold Standing Liberty Quarters offered in PCGS SP70 First Strike for so little!
Whether you’re rounding out your 2016 Centennial set or just getting started, this is a great opportunity to own the iconic 2016 Gold Standing Liberty Quarter. Take advantage of the chance to add a perfect specimen in PCGS SP70 First Strike to your collection at the lowest price anywhere!
P.S. Didn’t see last week’s Gold Mercury Dime deal? You have one last chance. A small number of coins are still available at just $249.95 per coin. Don’t delay; very few pieces remain.
