The first coin added to the Proof Gold Eagle collection after the 1986 release of a 1 oz coin was the 1/2 oz Proof Gold Eagle. Released in 1987, it has been struck in every year since that time with the exception of 2009 when all proof coinage was suspended for one year by the US Mint.

Fractional-weight Proof Gold Eagles were added over a two-year span including 1987 and 1988. The 1 oz coin was offered first with the rollout of the bullion Gold Eagles in 1986. In 1987, the US Mint introduced 1/2 oz Proof Gold Eagles. While the 1 oz coins have always been struck at the West Point Mint, that is not the case for fractional coins.

There are two important factors to note about Proof Gold Eagles. First, coins such as the 1/2 oz Proof Gold Eagle have “P” mint marks from the Philadelphia Mint for date marks from 1987 to 1993. Second, all Proof Gold Eagles have date marks in Roman numerals from introduction to 1991.

On the obverse of 1/2 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coins is Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ 1907 depiction of Lady Liberty. The reverse side features a family of American bald eagles at its nest and was created in 1986 by Miley Busiek.

These 1/2 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coins all have PF/PR70 certifications from the NGC or the PCGS. These coins are perfect specimens and have their full, original mint luster with no detracting flaws on the design elements or background fields.
