Files in Category:American Liberty gold coins

[edit]

All American Liberty gold coin designs were created by Artistic Infusion Program contractors. For reasons explained at Commons:Determining if U.S. coins are free to use, coins designed by Artistic Infusion Program contractors are not freely usable and are therefore ineligible to be hosted on Commons. Please see User:Mysterymanblue/U.S. Coins with known copyright statuses#American Liberty gold coins for more information on how this determination was made.

Deleted: Some of these images have been deleted with this request: Commons:Deletion requests/Burwell and Burwell photographs of U.S. coins. This discussion in the archive of the village pump did not lead to a firm conclusion. In addition, this DR did not receive specific comments to show the images can be published with a free licence. The terms of use on the website of the US Mint state ‘’Coin and medal designs may be based on sources that are copyrighted and licensed to the United States Mint or otherwise used with permission. In some cases, such designs may themselves be covered by third-party copyrights assigned to the United States Mint. Numismatic designs may also contain third parties’ other proprietary material, trademarks, or logos licensed or provided to the United States Mint for limited purposes. Reuse of such designs may require permission of the rights owner.’’ There is a possibility these coins are copyrighted. Consequently, the uploader – or any other Commons user - has to show per COM:EVID that the image can be used with an acceptable licence. This has imho not been done in this case. So therefore these images must be deleted. --Ellywa (talk) 18:30, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
