Josh Phair - 2026 NGC PL-70 1/10 oz Washington Gold Coin - Commander Series - Signed Label

2026 NGC PL-70 1/10 oz Washington Gold Coin – Commander Series - Josh Phair Signed Label

As we approach one of the most important milestones in American history—the 250th Anniversary of American Independence—Scottsdale Mint proudly unveils the most highly anticipated addition to the Commander Series: General George Washington. To honor this momentous release, each coin features the first and only Privy Mark ever used in the series: a striking Liberty Bell engraved with a bold “250,” officially designated as the Freedom Privy. This powerful symbol elevates the coin into a true collector’s piece, commemorating both a legendary leader and a once-in-a-lifetime patriotic celebration.

George Washington stands as one of the greatest figures in American history — a brilliant commander, fearless leader, and the steady hand that guided a nation’s birth. From his bold victory at Trenton, where he crossed the icy Delaware River to strike a decisive blow on Christmas of 1776, to the pivotal triumph at Yorktown that secured America’s independence, Washington proved time and again that he possessed unmatched courage and strategic genius. As the nation’s first president, he set the gold standard for leadership, integrity, and vision. The George Washington Commander release celebrates not just a founding father, but a legendary hero whose strength, honor, and unwavering resolve shaped the United States itself.

The Design

On the obverse, a dignified depiction of George Washington is presented in side profile, dressed in period-era military attire that underscores his role as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army. His name “WASHINGTON” and the year “2026” encircle the portrait in a classic, elegant layout, adding to the coin’s timeless appeal.

The reverse features the national seal of the issuing sovereign (Samoa for many Commander Series gold coins), coupled with inscriptions that clearly indicate the coin’s face value, purity, and weight. The proof-like finish brings out a sharp contrast between mirrored fields and finely engraved details, giving the design a striking and refined presentation.

An NGC PL-70 Early Releases Coin

NGC’s “PL” (Proof-Like) designation refers to coins whose fields exhibit mirror-like qualities similar to a formal proof strike, even if they were produced on regular planchets. A PL-70 grade indicates a perfect specimen with no visible imperfections under magnification. The Early Releases label denotes that this coin was submitted to NGC within the first 30 days following its release, adding additional collectibility and prestige.
