Congress authorized the production of American Gold Eagle coins in 1985 with passage of the Gold Bullion Coin Act. The United States Mint originally offered the coins in a bullion and proof version, with four weights available (1 oz, ½ oz, ¼ oz, and 1/10 oz). In 2006, the Mint introduced a new uncirculated coin.
On the obverse side of every American Gold Eagle coin is the image of Lady Liberty, as designed by famed sculptor and artist Augustus Saint-Gaudens. His image depicts Lady Liberty walking forward with a torch in her outstretched right hand and an olive branch in her left, with the setting sun shining on her image from behind.
The reverse side of the coin bears the depiction of a family of nesting bald eagles, as created by sculptor Miley Busiek for this coin program. Engravings that accompany her image include the weight, metal content, purity, and face value of the coin.
Each of the proof coins in this listing has been given a perfect PF70 grade from the NGC. Perfect proof coins have their full, original luster and no blemishes of any kind on the surface. The ultra-cameo designation of these coins identifies a frosted design set that appears to float over the clear background field.
