2016-W 3-Coin Centennial Gold Set Dime, Quarter, Half SP-70 NGC SP70 Cabral Signatures – Very rare

This magnificent set contains three of the most beloved coins of the 20th century, the Winged Liberty Head (or “Mercury”) Dime, Standing Liberty Quarter, and Walking Liberty Half Dollar. Each of these classic designs is struck off of its traditional metal and minted for the first and only time in pure 24kt gold. This centennial set is the forerunner of the Morgan and Peace dollar centennial sets released in 2021.

Collectors of modern issue coins will instantly recognize the Walking Liberty Half Dollar design because it was pulled from a 39-year retirement and used on the obverse of the American Silver Eagle 1986-2021.

The “V” as “In God We Trvst” on the Standing Liberty Half Dollar is not an error it’s the V for victory, which can also be seen on the Peace dollar 1921-1935.

The Dime shows an allegorical image of Liberty wearing a winged cap. Liberty’s resemblance in this design to the Roman god, Mercury, led to the issue being nicknamed the “Mercury dime.” All three coins were struck at the West Point Mint with a specimen burnished finish, there are no proof versions.

Each coin is individually hand-signed by Anna Escobedo Cabral, 42nd Treasurer of the United States. The Cabral signature is one of the best known and most sought after signatures in all of the numismatics having also appeared on the $100 bills series 2003A, 2004A, 2006, and 2006A.
