Imagine this — in the palm of your hand lies a piece of the Goddess of Freedom herself. The Statue of Liberty, America’s most iconic monument, which generations have only seen from afar and dreamed of touching, now offers its original copper to you. Sounds unbelievable? Yet it is true. Just ahead of America’s 250th birthday, Rhode Island-based mint company Alchemist Mint has come forward with an extraordinary offering.
The story began four decades ago. Between 1984 and 1986, the Statue of Liberty underwent extensive restoration. During that renovation, some of the old copper skin of the statue was removed. That copper had been carefully preserved ever since, with no clear idea of its future. Now, right at the moment of America’s birthday celebrations, that historic
copper is being transformed into a coin that is set to become a symbol of national heritage.
The coin is named **“Lady Liberty Enlightening the World.”** This octagonal, historic coin will be 30 millimeters in size. One side will feature the face of the Goddess of Liberty with her torch held high, surrounded by fifty stars. The other side will bear the unforgettable
words of the Declaration of Independence, set within a laurel wreath against the backdrop of the American flag. Each coin will have a unique serial number, engraved edges, and official documentation certifying its authenticity. This is one of the most exciting aspects of the coin — every piece is unique, with no two alike in the world.
The price? Just $250. And how fitting — as America celebrates its 250th anniversary, the coin itself is priced at $250, as if history itself set the value. If you want something even more special — such as specific serial numbers like 1776 or 2026 — you will need to pay a little extra, along with a $50 deposit.
Pre-orders are currently available at **reallibertycopper.com**, with just a $25 deposit required to reserve one. The coins are expected to be delivered by autumn. Twenty percent of total sales revenue will be donated to the American Liberty Congress and various organizations dedicated to military support, culture, history, and the arts.
Alchemist Mint states that this is the first time original material from the Statue of Liberty is being transformed into a national collectible art piece in this way. All preserved copper will be used exclusively for this coin project — after which nothing will remain. In other words, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will never come again.
Just think — the statue gifted from France in 1886, at the feet of which millions of immigrants have stepped into the dream of America; the monument whose torch has symbolized freedom for over 140 years — a piece of it can now belong to you. Only you. What could be more thrilling than that?
