You can now own a real piece of the Statue of Liberty, here’s how to get one

• An unprecedented commercial initiative will allow collectors and historians to acquire a certified metallic fragment of New York’s most iconic monument, the Statue of Liberty.

• The copper used for the minting of the commemorative pieces was rescued during the profound structural restoration works executed in the mid-1980s.

• The pre-sale of the numbered pieces is already enabled on the internet, projecting the first deliveries for the upcoming autumn period of this year.

The commemoration of the United States’ quarter-millennium of independence has begun to deploy projects of incalculable historical value for enthusiasts of North American culture. Consequently, the prestigious minting firm Alchemist Mint announced the official launch of a strictly limited-edition coin. The true value of this piece lies in the fact that artisans manufactured it with original copper extracted directly from the Statue of Liberty during the historic restoration that took place between 1984 and 1986, allowing citizens to own a real part of the monument.

Under the name Lady Liberty Enlightening the World, this campaign marks the first occasion in the country’s heritage registry where preserved remnants of the structure are legally transformed into collectible pieces for national distribution.

Rigorous certification of origin from the Statue of Liberty

Each of the pieces will carry an official cost of $250 and will feature a 30-millimeter octagonal structure. To guarantee the security of buyers and prevent counterfeits, the coins will feature an individual numerical engraving on the edges and will arrive accompanied by official documentation certifying the metal’s provenance from the Statue of Liberty.

The visual concept of the piece integrates a strong symbolic weight. On the front side, one can appreciate the profile of Lady Liberty holding the torch over her chest, surrounded by fifty stars representing the states of the Union. On the reverse, the design showcases a laurel wreath intertwined with famous fragments of the Declaration of Independence, set against the backdrop of the American flag.

Reservation mechanism and distribution dates

Those interested in securing one of these relics can already access the project’s official platform. The reservation system allows individuals to set aside a regular piece through an initial deposit of $25. Nevertheless, for the most demanding collectors who desire a specific serial number that coincides with a year of high historical relevance, the advance payment will sit at $50.

Furthermore, the metallurgical company confirmed that the minting process is currently in its active phase. Postal shipments and deliveries of the pieces will formally begin during the autumn of 2026, consolidating a unique opportunity to treasure the material DNA of the ultimate symbol of freedom right in the year of the great national anniversary.
