The response I got was this:
"Thanks for your inquiry about the 2002 West Point Bicentennial Coin.
That image is not in the public domain. For many commemorative coins
you need permission from the United States Mint to use the image.
I think it's important to clarify between the specific image of the
coin, which the Mint may be claiming copyright on because they paid
for it to be taken (possibly negated by Bridgeman v. Corel, but still
insisted on by many), and copyright on the design of the coin itself.
IANAL etc.
