United States Mint Opens Sales For The 230th Anniversary Flowing Hair High Relief Gold Coin On 11/14
2024, November 14

US Mint - The United States Mint (Mint) will begin accepting orders for the 230th Anniversary Flowing Hair High Relief Gold Coin™ on November 14 at noon EST. Mintage is limited to 17,500 coins, with orders limited to one coin per household for the first 24 hours of sales. The household order limit will be enforced when the product launches online and applied across all retail channels.



Like its silver medal counterpart released on October 15, the 230th Anniversary Flowing Hair High Relief Gold Coin pays homage to the Flowing Hair dollar coin, issued on October 15, 1794, by the Federal government as America's first dollar coin. Under the guidance of Mint Director David Rittenhouse, Chief Engraver Robert Scot designed the first silver dollar coin with government oversight of the process.

Struck at the Mint's West Point facility, the 230th Anniversary coin features an obverse (heads) design depicting the portrait of Liberty facing right and surrounded by 15 stars, representing the 15 states that had ratified the Constitution by 1794. Re-sculpted by Mint Medallic Artist John P. Mcgraw, the design retains the "LIBERTY" inscription and includes an updated "2024" date. The denomination is incused on the edge as, "HUNDRED CENTS ONE DOLLAR OR UNIT."

Re-sculpted by Mint Medallic Artist Eric David Custer, the coin's reverse (tails) design stays true to the 1794 original. It depicts a laurel wreath surrounding an eagle with spread wings in the center, an early predecessor of the American heraldic eagle. The inscription is "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA."

The gold coin is encapsulated and placed in a stylish clamshell. A classic black presentation case embellished with the United States Mint seal and an outer sleeve with a gold embossed image of the Flowing Hair completes the packaging. A certificate of authenticity with matching imagery accompanies each coin.



Pricing for the 230th Anniversary Flowing Hair High Relief Gold Coin will be determined according to the range in which it appears on the Mint's "Pricing of Numismatic Gold, Commemorative Gold, Platinum, and Palladium Products" table.

I plan on buying one of these on Thursday upon release. Right now the price of gold is bouncing around just above, and just below $2,600. It appears that if the price is below the $2,600 threshold the price is going to be $3,570 Just above and it's going to cost $3,620. I could be wrong though. As Bobby Brown once voiced it's their prerogative I guess.

Mint did the fair thing with one per-household for the first 24 hours, high price for a one ounce gold coin.

17,500 is a bit high mintage compared to the 2024 Liberty & Britannia Gold coin which has a total mintage of 10,000. I guess this will probably not going to sell out right away.

Not a fan of this retro stuff. Good look in the 18th c., just another expensive example of unending collector issues today.
