2016 1/4 oz Standing Liberty Quarter Centennial Gold Coin NGC SP 70 First Releases
Commemorate one of America’s most iconic coin designs with the 2016 1/4 oz Standing Liberty Quarter Centennial Gold Coin, certified SP 70 First Releases by NGC. Struck in .9999 fine gold at the West Point Mint, this coin celebrates the 100th anniversary of the original 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter, designed by acclaimed sculptor Hermon A. MacNeil. With its flawless grade and early pedigree, this piece is a perfect fusion of American history and modern minting excellence.
The original Standing Liberty Quarter was issued from 1916 to 1930 and is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful coins in U.S. numismatics. MacNeil’s design featured Lady Liberty standing confidently between two pillars, holding a shield in one hand and an olive branch in the other—symbols of protection and peace. To honor its centennial, the U.S. Mint released this modern gold edition in 2016, struck in 24-karat gold with enhanced detail and precision.
This coin is part of the U.S. Mint’s Centennial Gold Coin Program, which also included gold tributes to the Mercury Dime and the Walking Liberty Half Dollar. Each design was faithfully reimagined in gold, offering collectors a chance to own legendary artistry in a modern bullion format.
