The United States Mint has revealed a range of design candidates for the 2027 American Liberty Gold Coin and Silver Medal, showcasing 20 potential obverses and 12 reverses. The portfolio of line art renderings was presented Oct. 21 to the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC), an 11-member federal body that advises the Treasury Secretary on coin and medal themes and designs.
The Commission of Fine Arts (CFA) was also slated to review the designs, but its meetings remain on hold until the federal government reopens. In addition, on Tuesday the White House reportedly dismissed all six members of the commission, who had been appointed under former President Biden, and will need to name replacements.
During their review, CCAC members expressed a broad spectrum of opinions — from calls to refine or expand the portfolio for another review to others commending the submissions as exceptional. Views also differed on which designs stood out more, with some preferring the obverses and others favoring the reverses. Several of the designs had appeared in prior CCAC and CFA discussions for other coin programs and were requested for reconsideration in later portfolios.
Among the designs, two combinations drew the most support. In the end, the committee recommended O-16 with R-11, shown topmost. The obverse depicts Liberty holding a torch and olive branch, set against a central sunburst, while the reverse features an alert bald eagle perched atop a rock. The obverse’s LIBERTY★ and the reverse’s UNITED STATES OF AMERICA appear in large, stylized lettering.
The next highest vote-getters in the portfolio were O-3 with R-1, shown below, appreciated by members in part for their complementary parental and child depictions. The obverse shows Liberty walking with a young girl while holding the American flag, and the girl carries a torch symbolizing enduring freedom. The reverse portrays an adult eagle with an eaglet in the nest.
Launched in 2015, the U.S. Mint’s American Liberty program is known for reimagining traditional themes through a modern lens. Obverses showcase contemporary portrayals of Liberty, while reverses depict striking renditions of eagles. Each issue pairs a gold coin with a corresponding silver medal — both sharing the same design, with the medal notably excluding the statutory inscriptions found on coins.
Struck in 24-karat (.9999 fine) gold at the West Point Mint, the $100 coins are generally one troy ounce in weight, with the lone exception of 2018’s 1/10-ounce, $10 release. Apart from the inaugural 2016 edition, which was produced at both the San Francisco and West Point Mints, the companion silver medals have been struck at the Philadelphia Mint in one troy ounce of .999 fine silver, except for the larger 2.5-ounce version issued in 2019.

What is with the stylized writing on these artist coins? Can we add “ Keep on truckin” with Liberty giving a peace sign too? Ridiculous. Lady Liberty looks bored as well. Hopefully they will throw out the whole lot of these designs and come up with better choices.
A future design, Robert Crumb’s Keep on Truckin’.
I totally agree. The United States has always had a classic style to our coins. With maybe a few exceptions. Being a coin collector, I really appreciate the beauty of historical U.S. coinage. Stop this before it’s a total flop.
Looks like the trendy art style whose popularity lasts a few years and then is replaced by the next trend. personally I see little or nothing ‘noble’ in the style that would make me want it.
It reminds me of being a teenager and ‘lava lamps’ were really cool, or black velvet art or other such stuff, and then you grow up.
My grandma and mom have those posters, or had them, that is the target audience it seems? Why not the Alien?
My mom was 97 Tuesday, but the posters have been up,since the late 1970s…. The design is ok well viewed since like the 1890s…. Morphed w the Grateful Dead bird.. combo meal,Aisle 2
I’ve strongly criticized the United States Mint for selling both numismatic and bullion Gold. The United States government will eventually buy Gold to support the dollar. Why sell at a cheap price and purchase back at a higher price? Gold mine production in the United States by year: 2024 = 158.0 tonnes 2023 = 170.3 tonnes 2022 = 172.7 tonnes 2021 = 186.8 tonnes 2020 = 193.4 tonnes 2019 = 200.4 tonnes 2018 = 222.6 tonnes 2017 = 236.3 tonnes In 2017, the United States accounted for 6.6% of global Gold mine production. In… Read more »
Cag: agreed that the USG needs to start purchasing gold and lots of it….but needs funds to do so. As you are aware the Mints numismatic/bullion production and sales are off budget, not appropriated funds. With the deficits currently being incurred I doubt any funds will be available for gold purchases….sadly.
With a 38 trillion dollar deficit, not likely to happen soon, or in our lifetimes.
HarryB,
That’s one of the reasons the Federal Government wants a sovereign wealth fund. Purchase Gold and revaluation of the current Gold at that point..
NO increase in the Federal Deficit with a sovereign wealth fund structured properly.
It currently has some bipartisan support in the Senate for sovereign wealth fund to take the place of THE Social Security Trust Fund that is rapidly being depleted.
Rather gold in a sovereign wealth fund than crypto……doing anything with social security trust fund, which changes the character from how it is structured today, will be difficult at best, if not impossible…..
In 1978, they said Social Security would be gone in five years. Fifty years later in 2028, there will still be Social Security.
Even if the earned income salary cap is removed on payments into social security, all the rich will do is structure their payments in a form that is not earned income. Look at all of the parachute programs for the corporate heads. I’m pretty sure their stock options are not earned income under current tax law. They are capital gains from my understanding. Maybe a tax expert here can chime in. For example, you can only contribute to a Roth ira if you have earned income. Pensions, dividends and capital gains are not earned income if you want to qualify… Read more »
sharks2th, “Even if the earned income salary cap is removed on payments into social security, all the rich will do is structure their payments in a form that is not earned income. Look at all of the parachute programs for the corporate heads. I’m pretty sure their stock options are not earned income under current tax law. They are capital gains from my understanding.

Increasing the salary cap might generate some extra funds, but it wouldn’t… Read more »
Personal, This a post I made 7 years ago (08/08/2018) but it is more pertinent today than it was 7 years ago… “@Jerry Diekmann, But eliminating the cap (just like on Medicare) would at least bring in millions of dollars a year from the CEOs, COO’s, and CFO’s at the big companies that are now receiving windfall tax breaks, plus everyone else making wages of over $128,400, a very nice salary indeed. “ The 1.45% Medicare tax is allowed by corporations because it is ONLY 1.45%. No way will corporations allow 6.2% of unlimited wages for CEO’s, COO’s and CFO’s.… Read more »
They laughed at Al Gore (Mr, Interweb) when he said a LOCK BOX for SS funds. Congress has raided the box many times and the loss of principle $ is om them, but no fox, sounds right…
just to be clear what do you mean by ‘unearned income’? do you mean capital gains, interest, dividends, etc.? if so, that is definitely taxed (yeah, there’s a smallish 0% rate if you make less than about $50k in cap gains or dividends). interest is taxed at ordinary rates same as salaries, the only ‘preferential’ tax treatments are for capital gains (excepting coins (!) which get a special higher rate) and dividends (if issued by a domestic US corporation). if however you meant ‘unrealized gains’, which some folks have floated, that’s not viable at all to tax, because you don’t… Read more »
Exactly Personal! And putting SS into crypto is mad, just plain mad.
some figures to put this in perspective: in 2024, about $1.3t was collected in social security taxes – along with other ss revenues ($180b) this was about $70b short of what was needed to pay all ss benefits (in other words, the ss trust fund was depleted by $70b last year). since ss tax is 12.5% of income (half paid by the employee, half paid by the employer), that means the total earned income subject to ss tax in 2024 was about $10.4t. however, the irs shows that about $11.5t of earned income was reported in 2025 – that implies… Read more »
The way the game is played would be to wait as long as possible using only fiat. Then when the #2 hits the fan they print yet more money to buy gold and back the currency at 40%. And most people will get wiped out from the inflation and also currency debasement that will occur as a result.
Wash, rinse, repeat. Not like it would be the first time in history its happened.
Thank you mint for another Au product I have absolutely no interest in buying. Of course, if I get my hands on a little weed…maybe? The eagle looks impressive on the reverse, but everything else appears to be psychedelic or cartoonish to my eyes.
We’re gonna need a bigger group of artists….some really weird, ugly amd bizarre designs. Nice to misss out, but Dead fans will,sell,all their weed for that reverse….
AML-O-12 seemed sort of interesting. A Liberty coin by virtue of having the word “LIBERTY” on it and the date. Just simplify it and get rid of the background and the wheat. No artist needed.
@Personal, that may be the leaf of the wheat plant. I’m not sure though.
Why just DOGE the CFA members only? The current so called USM artist’s need to read the room, not their doodling while at work/online class wearing PJ’s. The selected design was forced to the front because most of the other designs were so bad, and nothing new in the design process looking at the past. The selected design is fine overall. Yes, she looks bored or annoyed – awkward. The font is bad and nearly illegible. If they tone it down some – ok. The appearance of mirrored font suggests that the coin will not be a Proof coin –… Read more »
If I might kindly correct a spelling error..,
The current so called USM artist’s need to
read(leave) the room.Good one KCSO! This illustrates why I think we should recycle older classic designs from time to time on our modern coins. At least until we can find an artist that possesses talent.
Agree. With what was presented, these designs do not live up to the expectations created by the last 3 Liberty series designs. I still like the two Reverses of the native American art as both sides of a liberty coin.
Here’s a good obverse subject.
Every year the Monarch Butterfly migrates from Mexico to Norther California and swarms Big Sur California in the Spring. It is an amazing sight to behold, as is the Monarch Butterfly itself. It symbolizes freedom and liberty. The butterfly has always been a natural subject in the eye of most artists.
James Earl Fraser has always been a favorite of mine. “End of the Trail” is an iconic American design that is emotionally moving, maybe a little too controversial, but recognized by most Americans. The original limestone carving resides in Visalia California. Many bronze versions were cast from the original decades ago. This design would make a great coin.
It must be understood, a coin design should be treated as an artistic sculpture. Most of the designs above appear 2D, flat, and lack aesthetic sensation. They also lack intelligent thought. Is that “Prince” on one of them? And a skin head woman with tats on her face – nice. Those Haight Ashbury fonts are barely legible in the design and I don’t think they will read well on the coin either. I just don’t see anything that says “Major Artist.” I just see shallow computer generated stuff. None of the obverse designs do anything for me. The only reverse… Read more »
Works for me E1, beautiful. Speaking of ‘civilian’ art talent vs the CFA bureaucracy that controls the Mint designs in part, Daniel Carr (Moonlight Mint/Private Mint) had a few things to say about the CFA tonight on another forum that I found interesting… “First of all, do not confuse the Commission of Fine Arts (CFA) with the Citizens’ Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC). The CCAC only reviews potential coin and medal designs for the US Mint. All such designs are reviewed by the CCAC anonymously (the CCAC members do not know the particular artists who have created the designs that are… Read more »
Rick,
Thank you for your post.
“First of all, do not confuse the Commission of Fine Arts (CFA) with the Citizens’ Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC).” True That!
Danial Carrs’ Moonlight Mint restored my faith in the possibility of any numismatic talent that may still be here in the country. A plethora of creativity there.
Man, a lot of great stuff -Thanks!
Cheers
The runner-up design is better than the winner. If the recommended design had been chosen 60 years ago, it may have made sense. For 2027, it’s just weird.
At least they didn’t recommend the design with Medusa as Liberty (AML-O-02), although the proposed reverse for that one is a pretty great looking eagle.
Dear Mr. Hollis, and future USM Leadership Team, I kindly ask you to charge me more for gold numismatic products.., Yes Sir, you read that correctly, ..please charge me more per gold offering, sincerely. Here’s the rationale.., with a additional price increase, you can – Abolish the CFA, Abolish the CCAC, Terminate the Artistic Infusion Program, & hire REAL Talent.., You know who your numismatic base is, & you know who funds these series.., – look at those Obverse design candidates, Really?! I have a sneaky suspicion I’m preaching to the choir.., . To make my point, at the conclusion of… Read more »
KCSO REVERAND …. Funny it seems the CAC et al

Hear! Hear! Stella Liberty! Indeed…. A collector can only hope.., SS & Crypto… can you believe that? SMH…, A few weeks ago, did you see that Crypto & Quantum response I sent? Someday… they’ll FAFO! 😉 On point – I think the days of the USM throwing out half-ass designs and expecting them to sell, or at least maintain par, is over, I really do, and with 2026 being an inflection point with changing demographics, much higher price points, fed up collectors with a lot more attractive alternatives… so on & so on, we’ll see.., ‘26 DC will be a… Read more »
KcSO thanks she is a huge Dodger fan, still argues bullpen issues w my son! GAME 7 Cali ——- Anything can happen ..Stella$ for the winners…. Hahaha
And pricing and designs will become a huge factor as KCSO notes, maybe 2029 Flappers, 2031 Sufferegettes, 2033 Robot chix
All of these designs suck. Who are these “artists”?
Some of those designs are just UG-LEE!
Continuation of discussion on the 1976 (P) Kennedy Half Clad MS67+, up for auction over at GC. E1, I’d venture to say that those 1976 S Kennedy Silver coins are economical($90-$100) due to the sheer number of MS68’s graded at PCGS and NGC, being over 1,200 to date combined. With a mintage of 11,000,000, assuredly there are plenty others out there, that still haven’t been graded? Even the 1993-1997 S Kennedy Silver Proof’s with mintages ranging from roughly 680K-775K, a mere fraction of the 1975-1976 S Kennedy Silver(Reg Strike) mintage, have comparable populations and prices. 1993-1997 MS70’s show numbers receiving… Read more »
Cali, The Kennedy series is a vast complex series and has many interesting sub-sets. The best way to start is to pick a sub-set of interest and knock each one out one at a time. These sub-sets include…. a. All 1964 90% silver coins – MS, cameo, UC/DCAM, and accented hairs. b. All 1965-1970 40% silver coins – MS business strikes, SMS cameo, SMS UC/DCAM, and proofs in PR69 UC/DCAM or better. c. All 1776-1976 Dual Date silver Coins – MS, UC/DCAM. d. All 1992-2018 90% Silver proofs in PR70 UC/DCAM. e. All 2014 50th Anniversary Coins in 70. f.… Read more »

Bingo! This is exactly why I was inspired to start a Kennedy collection. I used to just roll-search for junk Silver Kennedy coins. Not anymore, now I’m buying junk Silver Kennedy’s that are tarnished for big bucks lolol.

I’ll see what I can do with some additional thoughts, hopefully soon? But for the time being, this website has once again been corrupted by a Sick, Twisted Virus within the comment section. It’s so weird, Cali.
Whatever you do, take your time with your collecting goals. No hurry.
These designs just make previous designs that much more valuable!!!! The 2023 is a Clinton coin showing the Razorback Hog from the University of Arkansas jumping from right to left over an open hand. The Clinton’s foundation is very powerful and they wanted their own coin. Turn the coins over and you will see there dogs legs in the branches. Many other images are in the coin!!!
These designs will certainly make the previous designs that much more valuable
Is that Bill and Monica when you flip it over??? Hahaha
Shark,
Someone posted a meme-reply to your Bill & Monica post earlier, then they/them deleted it oddly enough. I saved it though, it’s kind of funny like your joke. Who posted it? Sorry, that’s personal…
Rick, when that Arkansas razorback joke was made, I couldn’t help but laugh when KCSO flipped the image because Clinton was governor there and it looked like two people together. It’s kinda like looking at clouds, you can see all sorts of imagined images in the differing shapes.
Whose face is looking up at the initials EH? The closer you look at this coin, the more you see…
Maybe I see an Ent leg from Lord of the Rings.
I think I see the real Paul McCartney … you know, the one who died in that auto accident back in the 1960s.
Mark: please tell us that you are not the eBay seller trying to get $20k for the 23 Liberty about 6 months ago, as a hidden hog sculpture. One of my sports is trying to find the most outrageous and fraudulent priced coins on eBay….. my best example aside from the $20k 23 Liberty are the adds for Lincoln Presidential $1 coins offered for $4k because they are “gold”.
Some of these designs are really not appropriate for the obverse or the reverse of the American Liberty coin. I am particularly not fond of the psychedelic looking designs. With some of the designs, I don’t feel like they serve the theme of American Liberty at all. Please choose wisely.
Those are horrible. They remind me of acid rock album covers, and others are just plain bad.
Gold mine production from the United States in CY2024 = 158.0 tonnes
Putting that in perspective…
Q32025 there were 221.7 tonnes purchased in Gold ETFs and similar products.
In just 1 quarter there was 140% of total annual United States Gold production put in Gold ETFs and similar products…
How does Gold coin sales compare to Gold ETFs on a worldwide basis?
Official Gold Coin sales worldwide Q32025 = 31.7 tonnes
Gold ETFs and similar products Q32025 = 221.7 tonnes
Cag: ETFs are attractive to investors in the stock market, and IRA holders…..to each their own. The stats you cite indicate to me that it is impossible for physical gold to back ETFs unless fractional….and appears oversubscribed. But then I am a simple country boy…..I do note reports overnight that India moved 102 tons of physical gold from London to storage within their borders, following up on a similar move last year. I note sellers of physical precious metals here in the US are selling with generous mark ups over spot…..so I conclude the market for physical gold/silver is robust,… Read more »
HarryB,
“The stats you cite indicate to me that it is impossible for physical gold to back ETFs unless fractional….and appears oversubscribed.”
No. There were 237.1 tonnes of Gold bars sold in Q32025.
Those Gold bars are what backs the majority of the Gold ETFs…
HarryB, it appears to me, that much like a Ponzi, as long as more investors continue to buy shares of SPDR GLD, they will have enough money to pay out those highest on the totem pole. Hypothetically, if those companies, corporations, countries, individuals, that are allowed to demand(must have 100,000 shares or more) or attempt to take possession simultaneously of the physical gold held in vaults, the SPDR GLD ETF would have enough to pay them in gold or cash, however those with less than 100,000 shares would likely be left in the dust, seems to reason? “Hypothetical” disclaimer: “Addressing… Read more »
There have been rumbling of ETFs not having the goods to back up the holdings . Time will tell, but it is a good way to,participate but if you Cali say Physical small , powerful, not silver which is quite difficult to,store a boatload …

Asking Google about Central Bank purchases of gold bullion last 10 years, this chart was provided in response to my inquiry. No way to tell how much was new production vs sales from existing supply, but Central bank purchases exceed 1000 tons per year…..point is no way to prove ETFs actually possess, or for that matter to prove how much any entity actually possesses….One can “hope” I guess….
to be a ‘compliant’ ETF, all issued shares should be backed by the underlying assets held at a custodian (let’s ignore the shares for less-than-a-creation-basket issue for this). the custodian should have periodic 3rd party audits to validate that they do in fact hold the requisite amount of underlying for the ETF shares outstanding (at least for all the whole creation baskets). reputable ETF providers don’t want to get caught on the wrong side of this, or they will go kaput in no time. are there some fly-by-night ETF providers that are skimping on this? perhaps, but they won’t last… Read more »
C_Q: yes I am aware of the hold requirements for ETF issuers…but the “leased” practice which rose in 2010s allows bullion holders to lease their physically held bullion to others….I have heard, but never confirmed, that a 2012 Presidential executive order permits US held bullion to be leased….I “assume” all ETFs are audited periodically, but have never pursued details of such.
ETF holdings can be lent out (not just physical gold – it’s quite common for stocks to be lent out, the interest received helps keep the management fee very low and in some cases allows it to be zero) but the holdings can be recalled from the borrower in the case of share redemption, in that case the borrower is required to cover the short (i.e., deliver that previously borrowed asset back to the ETF) in a fairly short period of time (a few days). This can drive a ‘short squeeze’ if the borrower has already sold the holding (which… Read more »

Looling forwards to not spending any money on these ugly designs in 2027. That is ok as the 250th coins will probably have me spend more than I usually would.
Sometimes it is all about perspective!
When I first glanced at AM-O-02A-c, I thought there were snakes surrounding Liberty’s head…her curls? Also the crown is so huge she would likely fall over backwards…the whole lot does nothing for me
I like coins to have a sense of ‘gravitas’ symbolizing the strength and dignity of the United States. This ‘crazy’ lettering and the cartoonish figures are the exact opposite. We don’t need a ‘realistic-looking woman or eagle’ – the purpose of these two symbols is to represent the United States as having a strong currency. Previous generations understood that a symbolic Lady Liberty and Eagle are the right approach. We don’t need realistic or life-like portraits of either.
Ole Sam Tweedy…, it’s been 8 years or so, glad you haven’t lost your sense of humor.., too funny, snorted some late afternoon coffee on that, gee thanks, woke me right up though!
Cag,
Silver was in contango on Monday with spot about $0.10 lower than front month, and yesterday (Wednesday) silver was in backwardation again with spot about $0.10 higher than the front month. Anything significant with this latest move in silver?
Rich,
The issue is that physical Silver was moved from the United Kingdom to the United States due to tariff risks. This relocation was not a concern until the recent Silver squeeze, which has made location important. Traders are now using backwardation as a short-term strategy to capitalize on the physical allocations.
Backwardation is only a short-term strategy…
I won’t be buying this design.
Are the dei hired artists or what? Stylized writing is just plain ugly. America doas not need to model the letters from posters on coins! Yuck!
Making coins like these will only result in unpopular coinage that people will not want much less collect.

I think the coin should look the way the actual liberty does. As she is real and does exist.
The ABPP have left just 1, 2025 American Silver Eagle with Marine Corps Privy on the table(12:30), with 2 1/2 hours left of their sales window. Who or why did one of them leave just 1? Just a crumb for those who hadn’t gotten any yet? Hmm…. A bit odd to me. Last coin standing! I’m sure the numbers will likely change, however there are currently still &7,000 ready for opening sales on the 10th.
Trick or treat – how about a new article…. PLEASE
Same old crappy designs that are regurgitated after rejection! This is the 250th Anniversary of our country, we need some classic beauty. NOT a comic-can token or a re-repeated civil rights design. There are so many historic coins and beautiful liberty Obverse designs with bold eagle reverse (full body) designs, to choose from. NONE of these are the coins that represents the most beautiful, free, and generous nation that this world will ever see.
