HISTORICAL AND ARTISTIC SIGNIFICANCE
The Design
This masterpiece brings the legendary work of sculptor Adolph A. Weinman to life in stunning high-relief depth.
Obverse: Features a magnificent, high-relief rendition of "Winged Liberty" (originally popularized on the 1916 Mercury Dime).
Reverse: Showcases a powerful eagle perched on a rock, clutching an olive branch, adapted from Weinman’s historic 1907 American Institute of Architects medal design.
The Signature Pedigree
The inclusion of a hand-signed label by former Delaware Governor and Representative Mike Castle elevates this coin into an elite class of modern numismatics. Known as the "Coinage Congressman," Castle authored the transformative 50 State Quarters program, reshaping modern American coin collecting. Slabs featuring his signature carry a verified scarcity premium.
INVESTMENT AND COLLECTOR HIGHLIGHTS
Ultra-Low Mintage: With only 12,000 minted, this coin is inherently scarcer than the vast majority of modern gold and silver proof counterparts.
The Perfect Grade: Out of that small mintage, only a fraction achieve the flawless NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo status.
Tangible Asset: Combines the security of one ounce of pure investment-grade palladium with immense numismatic collector premium.
