Collector insights
- Design heritage: Herman A. MacNeil is credited as the designer for the Non-circulating coins series. Designer attribution helps distinguish this issue from later restrikes or unofficial copies that reuse only the motif.
- Struck at: West Point (mintmark
W). Confirm the mintmark on your example before comparing prices — same-year issues from different mints often trade at very different levels. - Mintage vs. survival: A moderate mintage of 100,000. Grade rarity is usually the driver of value here — mid-grade circulated pieces are common, but original-surface uncirculated coins can command a strong premium.
- Gold issue: Gold (.9999) — bullion demand competes with numismatic demand. Weight and fineness (not just face value) drive the melt-value floor.
