Mintage figures relate to the maximum amount produced, as in, when the coin is pronounced 'sold out' and no further coins are minted. Rarity is ranked by by the overall rarity for all commemoratives within the grade certification, MS70 or PF70.(NGC, February 2015).

Modern commemorative gold coins from the U.S. Mint celebrate American history and culture and a surcharge on the coins when purchased from the Mint helps to support popular causes. For example, a portion of the proceeds from the Capitol Visitor Center commemorative coins helped to fund the construction of a new visitor center under the U.S. Capitol's East Plaza.

According to the U.S. Mint, more than $418 million has been raised to help build museums, maintain national monuments like the Vietnam War Memorial, preserve historical sites like George Washington's home and support various Olympic programs.

Certified coins in perfect MS70 or PF70 condition are considered actual "museum-quality." With their flawless finish, perfect condition and rarity, they are preferred by both collectors and investors. Since they are true collectibles, they are not as subject to the ups and downs of the commodities market, which has made their value more stable over time than gold bullion alone. The U.S. Gold Bureau recommends these coins as a long-term store of value, to help protect your portfolio from turbulent economic times.
