February 15, 2022
The United States Mint has unveiled several dozen candidate designs for the high-relief 2023 American Liberty Gold Coin and Silver Medal. These designs are being reviewed today, Feb. 15, by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) and they will be considered by the Commission of Fine Arts (CFA) on Feb. 17.
Introduced in 2015, the U.S. Mint’s biennial program of American Liberty coins and medals celebrate modern interpretations of the concept of American liberty.
The Mint in 2023 will issue 1-ounce 24k gold coin and a .9999 fine silver medal. The Mint is also considering a 1/10-ounce 24k gold coin.
Here are some of the Obverse designs.
Here are some of the Reverse designs.

😱 Yikes
🎶 shout shout, let it all out 🎶
I like the tree the best for the obverse, followed by the flapper looking lady Liberty. For the reverse I like the 3rd eagle down from the top the best

Just based on the obverse designs, I would not buy any of them. That is the worst lineup of coin/medal designs I have ever seen assembled in one venue. They are so bad, that the word art should not be used as a descriptive term. Cheers, RickO
I kinda like the 1st and last Eagles.
AML-o-08 ... I didnt know Leo deCrappio posed for a portrait??
The 1st obverse ... Jesus Christ, Superstar!!
I like the bristle cone pine and the landing eagle....
Well, just Love coins, period.
This version was over the top. Why do I keep looking at it?

So glad I stopped buying US Mint products.
Heads or tails token. When does the show start. Lol
Hoard the keys.
Not many US coins with a bulldog on them, and you gotta love those boots. Looks like a design for the 60's.
This was the reverse option to make it a coin.

Thank you for posting this Bully! Those are some wild variation in designs. I like the first two for boldness. And the first one is Jesus like, That is wildly feminine/masculine muscled.
Kind of like the first and fourth Eagles.
Is that first obverse Atlas holding up the sky? I like the tree obverse and the last reverse the best, still not really worth the massive premiums the mint charges these days. One of the reasons the earlier coinage is seeing more collector interest IMO.

You like the ones that were recommended.
"Editor update (Feb. 15, 3:06 p.m. ET): The CCAC recommended obverse design AML-O-02 paired with reverse design AML-R-12"

AML-O-13 presents a modern interpretation of Liberty as a "hardworking, salt of the earth, strong American." She exudes a toughness forged by overcoming the hardships of everyday life. Powerful and patriotic, she holds her torch aloft, with her shield for protection, laurel wreath for victory, and her American Bulldog, a stout companion.
dont care for the top obverse one, jmo. the rest is not to bad
A lot of those designs remind me of why I avoid US mint products like the plague. Some of them are rather hideous.
Then there is this one that looks like it was a possible political statement:
Horrible selection
Forgive me, but I think I saw that one on 3rd Steet last Saturday.

Not impressed
Interesting designs.
I like AML-O-04.

I like the tree if I had to choose.

How does a tree denote Liberty?
It's really unfortunate that the mint can't put out a design that compares to what the Canadian Mint does. These are really ugly.

I'm still trying to understand why Ms. Liberty is wearing a tank top, blue jeans, and combat boots.

I was hoping for a magnificent design next year. Something that everyone would be proud to own. Something raising the American standard to rival some of our historic gold coins. If I had to choose from these, perhaps the root bound tree and 3rd Eagle from the top. I'm not a fan of clipped eagle wings or tails. Please don't let it be the woman of the rocks or hippy chick of the 60's. Maybe we should vote for a blank gold planchet to represent a fresh start?

On the contrary, Google is not your friend.
That’s actually pretty.
Those are nice, and they are the pairing that I liked best.
I've just realized that the reason I'm not particularly fond of most modern medals or commems is that the eagles/portrayals of Liberty are a bit too realistic.

When did the mint raise the denomination from $50 to $100?

It has been $100 since the program started in 2015.
Reference
FWIW, Wikipedia reports that this was the first $100 gold coin ever issued by the Mint.
Edited for a spelling error.
O-01 looks like a zombie skeleton trying to dig out of a grave
O-02 looks like a tree, so good job there
O-03 looks like a woman's suffrage march from the early 1900's
O-04 looks like a "lady of the light", leaning seductively backwards, looking for her lost king (gentlemanly caller) with that wreath
O-08 looks like like those pilgrims see the indians advancing and are wondering if they are going to ask about the recent hostile occupation
O-16 looks like a woman is being swallowed by a wave
I love the American Eagle so my heart is pretty close to them. However,
R-06 looks like a chicken
R-07 has duck feet/underbelly
I think the obverse of the tree is outstanding! The reverse design not so much. I'll probably end up grabbing a silver medal.
I'll probably get the gold this time around. Anyone know if they announced the release date as of yet?
Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.
None of the above

Schedule still shows "summer".

FWIW, your personal enrollment page often shows "next shipment" dates before they appear on the "product schedule". For example, the next item that ships under enrollment "NM" is SNV1. It currently has a "next shipment" date of 7/18/23. Given that 23DB precedes SNV1 on the schedule, I would expect it to be released prior to 7/18/23.
Note - the schedule, as always, is subject to change by the Mint.
I really like the design, especially the high relief aspect, but with all of the Morgan and Peace coins scheduled it’s all down to mintage. If it’s limited I may try - unlimited might make it a pass.
Looks more like a proposition.
They made a movie out of that first one.
So Miss Liberty is now wearing combat boots. Unbelievable.

I think that flapper carrying the flag is supposed to be a suffragette.

I like her.

Awesome Eagle, Ghost Tree looking.
That's a good design. Too bad it's not going to be issued in fractional denominations. The silver medal has the same basic design with a few modifications, but it looks better in gold.
