The offering identifies 2015 as its issue year. The listed metal amount is 1 oz. The stated certification is PCGS MS70.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHistory and background\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2015 American Liberty High Relief gold coin brought a contemporary interpretation of Liberty into the United States Mint’s gold collector program. It followed earlier experiments in high-relief American coinage while using a new design rather than simply reproducing a classic circulating coin. Its identity is tied to the 2015 issue, not to every later American Liberty release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and product identity\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe design places an allegorical Liberty figure on the obverse and an eagle in flight on the reverse. The high-relief treatment emphasizes sculptural depth. That artistic format is separate from the assessment of an individual coin’s surfaces, so a high-relief designation is not itself a numeric grade or a certification-company name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct format:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eListed metal amount:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFineness or alloy:\u003c\/strong\u003e .9999 fine gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMint or maker attribution:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States Mint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIssue-year selection:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrading service:\u003c\/strong\u003e PCGS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eListed grade:\u003c\/strong\u003e MS70\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e FS15LHRP70\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUnderstanding the metal content\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrecious metal ounce weights use the troy system. One troy ounce equals 31.1034768 grams, while a kilogram equals one thousand grams. Fineness states the proportion of precious metal in an alloy; fine metal weight states the amount of that metal. An alloyed coin’s gross weight includes its other metals as well. These measurements explain why a denomination, a package weight and a stated fine metal amount should not be treated as the same specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCertification and the stated grade\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePCGS stands for Professional Coin Grading Service. The service authenticates and grades submitted coins rather than manufacturing the original issue. This offering is identified as MS70. The numeric assessment concerns condition, not gold or silver purity. A certification number identifies a grading record, while the issue date identifies the coin. The holder label can also carry designations that are separate from both the coin’s denomination and its metal content. MS means Mint State and belongs to the uncirculated range of the traditional grading scale. An uncirculated coin can still have production or handling marks, so the number supplies a more specific assessment than the word uncirculated alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails of this version\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst Strike is a PCGS release-related designation with its own submission and documentation rules. It should not be interpreted as a claim about the exact order in which the mint struck individual coins. The grade, release designation and coin date remain separate attributes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePreserving the product\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreserving the surface and the original identifying information helps retain the product’s physical history. Handle an unencapsulated collectible by its edges where appropriate and avoid polishing or abrasive cleaning. Keep a certified holder or stated assay package intact when retaining its identification matters. A brighter surface created by cleaning is not the same thing as a higher original condition grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterial, design and numismatic identity\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA product’s history is carried by several different kinds of information. The issuing or manufacturing name explains its origin, the design identifies its subject, the metal specification describes its material and the condition language describes its preservation. A date can connect the piece with a particular program or historical period without proving that it is rare. These features remain meaningful together even when two offerings contain similar amounts of precious metal. Keeping them distinct provides a more accurate description of the actual object.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"kz-product-sources\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical and technical references:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.usmint.gov\/news\/inside-the-mint\/2015-american-liberty-high-relief-gold-coin-the-artists-behind-the-designs\"\u003eU.S. Mint background\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ngccoin.com\/coin-grading\/grading-scale\/\"\u003eNGC grading reference\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgs.com\/Firststrike\"\u003ePCGS reference\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kzoo Bullion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52518331089191,"sku":"FS15LHRP70","price":4611.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/5046\/7367\/files\/media_f4650b80-397f-4dc2-9731-bb564cd0f951.jpg?v=1793706092","url":"https:\/\/kzoobullion.com\/products\/2015-w-liberty-high-relief-gold-coin-pcgs-ms70-fs","provider":"Kzoo Bullion","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
