Collectors and dealers can order as many 2016-W Walking Liberty Centennial Gold Coins as they want. The United States Mint on Monday lifted their household order restriction of three coins.
Released on Nov. 17, the gold half-dollar’s four-day sales reached 46,956 coins for 67.1% of the possible 70,000. Another sales update should be available by late Tuesday, Nov. 29.
The collectible is the last of three .9999 fine 24-karat gold coins to celebrate popular designs introduced 100 years ago. The first two commemorate the 1916 Mercury dime and the 1916 Standing Liberty quarter.
Possible Pricing Changes
The U.S. Mint’s collections of numismatic gold coins have prices that can change weekly depending on the trending value of gold. The centennial 50-cent piece debuted at $865 based on a gold average that was between $1,200.00 and $1,249.99 an ounce. The yellow metal has since plunged to an about a 9-1/2-month low. If it continues to sit under the $1,200 level through Wednesday, Nov. 30, the coin’s price will fall to $840.
Likewise, the companion Standing Liberty gold coin would move to $447.50 from $460. It has last reported sales of 82,349 coins with 100,000 allotted. The gold Mercury dime became unavailable shortly after launching, with 116,096 sold out of the possible 125,000.
