The Pinnacle of Perfection: PF70 Ultra Cameo & FDOI
This coin has received the highest possible certification from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), a grade that leaves no room for improvement.
-
PF70 Ultra Cameo: This perfect grade confirms the coin is entirely flawless, with no post-production imperfections visible under 5x magnification. The "Ultra Cameo" designation highlights the deep, liquid-like mirror fields and the heavily frosted, contrasting design elements.
-
First Day of Issue (FDOI): This elite pedigree certifies that the coin was among the very first shipped from the U.S. Mint on its official release day. For discerning collectors, the FDOI designation is paramount, securing the coin's status as one of the earliest and most desirable examples struck.
Iconic American Design
This coin features two of the most celebrated designs in American numismatic history. Obverse: The front displays Adolph A. Weinman's full-length figure of "Walking Liberty," first used in 1916. Lady Liberty strides gracefully toward the dawn of a new day, draped in the American flag, with her right hand outstretched and branches of laurel and oak in her left. It is widely considered one of the most beautiful designs ever to grace an American coin. Reverse: The newer Type 2 reverse, designed by Emily Damstra, features a majestic American Bald Eagle as it comes in for a landing, carrying an oak branch as if to add it to a nest. The design is rendered in stunning detail, conveying power and grace.
