Private Mint Round Appraisal

Private Mint Bullion Round - Walking Liberty Design

This item is a modern bullion round struck in a metal that appears to be copper, mimicking the iconic 'Walking Liberty' design originally created by Adolph A. Weinman for the United States half dollar (1916-1947). The round features Lady Liberty walking toward a rising sun, draped in the American flag, carrying branches of laurel and oak. The inscription 'LIBERTY' is visible along the top arc, with 'IN GOD WE TRUST' in the lower-left field. The date '19XX' is partially visible at the bottom. Unlike official legal tender, this is a private mint issue, often produced in .999 fine copper as an affordable collectible or investment hedge. The round exhibits a bright metallic luster with a reddish-pink copper hue, likely indicating it is relatively modern. The surface shows minor handling marks and superficial scratches consistent with bulk storage. There are no obvious mint marks, which is typical for generic bullion rounds. The craftsmanship is standard for commercial bullion, featuring frosted relief against a smoother field, though the detail lacks the extreme crispness of a government-issued proof coin. Condition appears to be 'Brilliant Uncirculated' with some light surface bag marks but no significant oxidation or patina.
