As America’s official gold coin, it is only fitting for the American Gold Eagle coin to feature some of the nation’s most iconic imagery. On the obverse you’ll find a depiction of Lady Liberty, based upon the Statue of Liberty from New York Harbor. The reverse bears the American bald eagle, the nation’s official emblem since 1792. Today, the 1989-W 1 oz American Gold Eagle is available as a perfect proof from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Proof coins were not originally struck for any reason other than testing die casts and preserving the record of production at a mint. In recent decades, proof coins have become popular among collectors because of their sharper edge and more refined appearances.
The 1989-W 1 oz American Gold Eagles available from JM Bullion in this listing are perfect proofs according to the PCGS. A coin with a PR70 grade has its full, original mint luster and no detracting flaws.
Deep-cameo is a term reserved for proof coins that have an exceptional finish. The strong, frosted finish on the design set creates the illusion of it floating above the coin’s deeply-mirrored, clear background field.
On the obverse you’ll find Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ depiction of Lady Liberty. First created in 1907 and featured on the $20 Gold Double Eagle, Saint-Gaudens’ Lady Liberty didn’t appear in circulation on the Double Eagle until several months after he died from illness.
Sculptor Miley Busiek was commissioned to design the reverse image for American Gold Eagles. Her depiction of a male bald eagle returning to the nest, where a female vigilantly guards a group of hatchlings, is used only on the American Gold Eagle coin.
