It showcases Lady Liberty’s bust wearing a Phrygian cap. Her portrayal also includes “LIBERTY,” the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST,” the artist's initials, and the year it was minted.
Inspired by the 1907 American Institute of Architects Gold Medal, the reverse depicts a Bald Eagle perched on a cliff, holding a branch.
Additional inscriptions include “UNITED STATES of AMERICA,” the face value of “$25,” the weight and purity “1 OZ Pd .9995 FINE,” and the motto “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”
A PCGS MS-70 First Strikes Coin
PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) operates independently of sovereign mints, evaluating and grading coins. Utilizing the Sheldon Scale, a grading system from 1 to 70, they meticulously assess coins based on their condition.
MS stands for Mint State, indicating a coin crafted in the format of a business circulation coin. Since it has never been in circulation, the coin has no flaws, which grants it a 70 grade.
To PCGS, “First Strikes” refers to coins purchased from their original mints within the first 30 days of their official release and submitted to its appraisal.
