2025 Oklahoma Limited Early Release
Oklahoma 3 Goldback — PMG 70★
A top-grade example of the first 3 Goldback denomination created exclusively for the Limited Early Release program.
LIMITED MINTAGE — ONLY 4,000 PRODUCED
A Milestone in Goldback History
The 2025 Oklahoma Limited Early Release marked the introduction of the first-ever 3 Goldback denomination. Unlike a standard circulating denomination, this special 3 Goldback was created exclusively for the Limited Early Release program.
With only 4,000 produced, it represents a distinctive and highly limited part of the inaugural Oklahoma Goldback series. This example has been professionally authenticated, graded, and encapsulated by Paper Money Guaranty and awarded the exceptional grade of PMG 70★.
PMG 70★
Awarded the highest numerical grade on PMG’s 70-point grading scale and protected inside a certified holder.
Historic First
The first 3 Goldback denomination and the first denomination created exclusively as a Limited Early Release.
Genuine 24K Gold
Contains 3/1000 of a troy ounce of 24-karat, .999 fine gold.
What Does PMG 70★ Mean?
PMG 70 is the highest numerical grade awarded by Paper Money Guaranty. A note receiving this grade must show no evidence of handling visible under 5× magnification, with its margins and registration appearing centered to the unaided eye.
Notes graded 70 must also qualify for PMG’s Exceptional Paper Quality and Star designations. The Star recognizes exceptional eye appeal.
Ingenium — Genius and Talent
The Oklahoma 3 Goldback presents Ingenium, the living embodiment of genius, talent, and creative expression. She stands beneath the sweeping skies of Black Mesa State Park with a guitar in hand, reflecting Oklahoma’s deep and enduring musical heritage.
Her calm confidence captures the creative spirit that has risen from Oklahoma’s red earth and shaped American music through generations of singers, musicians, and storytellers.
The message inscribed within the artwork reads:
“Oh sing to the Lord a new song.”
