Certified Perfection: PF70 Ultra Cameo & First Day of Issue

This coin has been certified by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) with its highest possible accolades.

PF70 Ultra Cameo: This grade signifies a perfectly struck coin with no imperfections visible under 5x magnification. The "Ultra Cameo" designation points to the stunning visual contrast between the deeply mirrored background fields and the frosted, sculpted design elements.

First Day of Issue (FDOI): This coveted pedigree guarantees the coin was received by NGC within the first 24 hours of its release from the U.S. Mint. It is an affirmation of its status as one of the earliest examples struck from the dies.

Exclusive Kenneth Bressett Red Book Label Hand-Signed

Adding to its prestige, this coin is encapsulated with the official "Red Book" label, featuring an authentic hand-signature from Kenneth Bressett, the Editor Emeritus of A Guide Book of United States Coins (commonly known as the Red Book). Bressett, a legendary figure in numismatics with over 60 years of contributions to the field, has partnered with NGC to provide signed labels on select coins, enhancing their collectible value and historical significance. The Red Book label is a specialized variant available through select retailers, often limited in population, making this piece even more desirable for numismatists.

This coin features two of the most celebrated designs in American numismatic history. Obverse: The front displays Adolph A. Weinman's timeless full-length figure of "Walking Liberty," striding gracefully toward the dawn of a new day, a powerful symbol of freedom and hope. 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, symbolizing strength and security.
