Unbelievable Hand-Cast Reproduction Of The Walking Liberty Design By Michael Gaudioso!
Simply put, this handsome piece evocatively captures the spirit of America. It’s a larger-than-life, museum-caliber sculpture with silver resin surfaces that accentuate every majestic element of Adolph Weinman’s iconic Walking Liberty design that originally graced the obverse of the U.S. Mint’s Walking Liberty Half Dollar struck from (1916 to 1947) and the American Silver Eagle collector coin that has been struck each year since 1986.
Handmade Works Of Art Made One At A Time
Each sculpture is handmade, one at a time, from the mold of an original piece by renowned artist and former United States Mint Engraver Michael Gaudioso. Mr. Gaudioso is well-known for his work at The Mint, including sculpting the reverse for the Type 2 American Silver Eagle that debuted in 2021. The back of each cast includes Mr. Gaudioso’s “MG” artist crest, pressed into the surface, along with the edition number. Each will come with a certificate of authenticity indicating the edition number.
One Of The Most Beautiful Coin Design Ever Minted
Knowledgeable numismatic coin experts rate Wineman’s Walking Liberty Half Dollar as being one of the most beautiful coins ever minted. The design, symbolizing American pride and spirit, features Lady Liberty walking towards the sun, representing the dawn of a new day. She wears an American flag draped over her shoulders, an olive branch in her right hand, and a bundle of oak and laurel branches in her left. Under the deft skills of Mr. Gaudioso, this classic design is reborn in a whole new way on a sculpture that measures an astounding 17.5 inches in diameter, has a depth of 3.5 inches, and weighs in at a hefty 10 pounds!
Limited To Just 400 Pieces
This piece gets its gleaming sheen from silver-toned powder infused into the resin and sparkles with a satiny finish, which includes a hand-buffed polish that gives each piece a coin-like luster. The silver edition is limited to 400 pieces and comes with hooks and a hanging wire to allow for easy display. Because these artworks are handmade, each will have a distinctive appearance and attractive irregularities, ensuring each edition number is unique.
