The Embodiment of Ideals That Endure
For more than 200 years, Lady Liberty has been a proud symbol of American independence, freedom and opportunity for millions of people in the United States and around the world. Over the years, the way we see her has changed to reflect the times and the eye of the interpreter. Either capped or with flowing hair, fully clothed or with an exposed breast, holding a shield, torch or olive branch -- each version of Liberty is full of beauty, symbolism and representation. What we see in her is, ideally, what we'd like to see within all of us.
The Silver Follow-Up to One of 2017's Most Popular Gold Coins!
With 2017 heralding its 225th anniversary, the United States Mint celebrated the momentous occasion by introducing the Gold American Liberty Proof. Featuring a new artistic interpretation of Lady Liberty, this critically-acclaimed coin became a media event well before its release. Now, hot on the heels of this popular release is its shining silver counterpart -- the 2017 1-oz Silver American Liberty Medal.
Produced by the Philadelphia Mint, this gorgeous proof also marks the U.S. Mint's anniversary in addition to serving as the first silver medal of the American Liberty biennial series -- imagining Lady Liberty through the prism of our nation's cultural and ethnic diversity. Like its golden predecessor, Liberty is portrayed as a beautiful African-American woman, wreathed with stars reminiscent of Thomas Crawford's "Statue of Freedom" that graces the top of the U.S. Capitol building. In fact, the most notable design difference from the gold proof is a taller, fuller portrait of Liberty on the silver proof. Since this silver medal is not legal tender, the mandated inscription of "In God We Trust" has been removed in order to bring Lady Liberty's profile all the way down to the rim.

"Amazing service and hospitality from the staff at IDC! Jason was so attentive and patient in our search for our ideal watches. He took us through several options, had us try every watch we were interested in, took our information and continued searching for options. A few hours later, we had our watches on hold and ready for pick up! He located a watch that I LOVE, and a unique piece for my husband. We are grateful to have found our new Jeweler for many pieces to come!"
"We loved our experience at IDC. Jason was very kind and patient with us. My fiancée and I found good options for our wedding bands. He made sure we found what we were looking for and provided all the details we needed, including comfort, value, and style. We also felt safe and comfortable at their shop, thanks to the double doors and security guard."
"Jason was absolutely amazing! Extremely professional and very knowledgeable in helping us with the ring selection process. We actually ended up taking his advice on the bands and are very happy with our decision. We absolutely enjoyed our wedding band shopping experience and would recommend Jason to future buyers as well!"
"Lila was extremely helpful. My finance and I were on a tight time crunch to get wedding bands and she was very knowledgeable and swift with making sure we had rings for our ceremony.
