The metadata for this file indicates it was created by Burwell and Burwell Photography and is copyrighted by the United States Mint. Burwell and Burwell is, presumably, a private contractor that the mint uses for some of its official photographs of U.S. coinage. As the photograph was not taken by an employee of the United States government as part of their official duties, it cannot be assumed to be in the public domain and should be deleted.  Mysterymanblue  20:01, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Delete I think it's plausible that the mint did acquire the copyright for these images from the photographer, but even in that case it provides nothing even resembling a free license under its design use policies for this coin, and requires an application for permission to use images of the coin even non-commercially.
These images are nearly identical in composition and metadata and so should also be affected:

 Delete Per the evidence above, it seems the images are copyrighted and not freely licensed. Nosferattus (talk) 14:06, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
