Until Aug. 15, U.S. Mint customers can receive a free 2018-W $10 American Liberty 1/10 Ounce Gold Coin when they buy a 2018-W $100 American Liberty 1 Ounce Gold Coin.
The two-for-one special has no household ordering limits. Sales quantities, however, are limited to in-stock inventory.
The .9999 fine 24-karat gold coins are struck in the collector finish of proof. Proofs are the U.S. Mint’s highest quality coin. They feature frosted foregrounds and mirror-like backgrounds. (As an example, see more photos of a 2017 American Liberty gold coin.)
Both coins share the same designs and major specifications, with key differences between their sizes, denominations, and edges.
