Coin Grading – Special NGC Coin Labels for 100th Anniversary Gold Coins

NGC will offer a set of three attractive labels for the highly anticipated 100th anniversary 0.9999 fine gold Mercury dime, Standing Liberty quarter and Walking Liberty half dollar. The gold dime goes on sale April 21.

The US Mint has announced that it will release .9999 fine gold centennial editions of three iconic 20th century coins: the Mercury dime, the Standing Liberty quarter and the Walking Liberty half dollar. These three coins debuted in 1916 during a period of change for the nation’s coinage–a time that many numismatists call a “renaissance.” To celebrate their 100th anniversary, the US Mint will issue a 1/10 ounce .9999 fine gold 2016 Mercury Dime, a 1/4 ounce .9999 fine gold 2016 Standing Liberty Quarter and a 1/2 ounce .9999 fine gold 2016 Walking Liberty half dollar.

NGC has created attractive special labels for each of these Centennial issues to commemorate their release. These labels will be available at no additional charge and are the default labels for these new coins.

Coins received by NGC within the first 30 days of their release are eligible for NGC’s popular Early Releases® and First Releases® designations. Learn more about Early Releases and First Releases here. Also see Early Releases / First Releases cutoff dates. See the submission instructions below.

Submission Instructions:

  • Submit the coins under the Modern grading tier or higher. If Early Releases or First Releases is desired, select Special Designation/Label and check either Early Releases or First Releases.
