In 2016, the U.S. Mint will mark the centenary anniversary of three numismatic icons with the release of the 1/10 oz Mercury Dime, 1/4 oz Standing Liberty Quarter, and the 1/2 oz Walking Liberty Half Dollar Centennial Gold coins. Each of these coins features an allegorical representation of Liberty, and is the last design of each denomination to do so. Each coin is encapsulated and hand packaged in a custom–designed, black–matte hardwood presentation case and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. The mint's goal is to match each Gold coin to the size and diameter of their original Silver coin from 1916. Plans are to issue business strikes only, meaning no Proof or Uncirculated versions will be issued.
