The artifact serves as a centerpiece for the new "Bones of the Statue of Liberty" exhibition, which showcases the structural ingenuity of Gustave Eiffel. Beyond the coin, the display features iron armature bars, pedestal railings, and maintenance elevator components, many of which have never been accessible to the public. The exhibition is housed at the Gilded Age mansion designed by Richard Morris Hunt—the same architect responsible for the Statue of Liberty's pedestal.

Statue of Liberty Artifacts Hit Market for 250th Anniversary
A rare opportunity to own a piece of American history arrives this July as Real Liberty Copper begins shipping its commemorative semiquincentennial artifact. Crafted from original copper salvaged during the 1984–1986 restoration of the Statue of Liberty, the limited-edition coin debuts publicly at the Belcourt of Newport estate on Independence Day.
Public interest has accelerated production and shipping timelines for the $250 serialized coins. Each purchase includes documentation verifying its authenticity, with 20 percent of proceeds directed toward veteran advocacy groups and the Belcourt of Newport museum. These funds support the upcoming American Liberty Congress, a 2027 initiative dedicated to evaluating the status of constitutional freedoms in the United States.
