(Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) July 17, 2023 – Four acclaimed artists who have designed coins and medals for the United States Mint now have produced artwork commemorating the famous Victory statue crafted a century ago by another acclaimed numismatic designer, Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Free, hand-signed, and numbered copies of their renditions of Victory will be available while supplies last at the American Numismatic Association 2023 Pittsburgh World’s Fair of Money ®.

The four artists are Emily Damstra, Miley Frost, Michael Gaudioso, and John Mercanti. Their Victory artworks were commissioned by Kevin Lipton Rare Coins in Beverly Hills, California. During the convention, Lipton will display one of only three privately owned reductions of Saint-Gaudens’ famous masterpiece statue that has been in New York’s Central Park area since 1903.

High-quality 8-by-10-inch prints of the artwork will be available free while supplies last Tuesday through Friday, August 8 to 11, courtesy of Lipton and Rare Collectibles TV.

The autographed prints can be obtained, and visitors can see the Victory statue, at booth #606 at the ANA convention. The specific times for personal appearances by the artists will be announced later.

The original model for the Victory statue was Harriette Eugenia Anderson, who later was Saint-Gaudens’ model for what are known today as America’s most beautiful coins, the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles of 1907 to 1933.
