Proof American Gold Eagle coins were created as a collector’s version of the bullion coin. Both the proof and bullion coin were introduced in 1986 when American Gold Eagles were first struck, with the uncirculated coin introduced on the 20th anniversary of the coin series in 2006.
Each coin in this listing is available with a perfect grade from the PCGS. Coins with a PR70 grade have full, brilliant luster and no blemishes, contact marks, or flaws. The deep-cameo finish signifies that the design set has a frosted finish, with a background field that is deeply-mirrored and clear.
On the obverse of each coin is the image of Lady Liberty as designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. His depiction shows Lady Liberty striding toward the future, with the sun rising behind her, while holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left.
The reverse side of the coin bears Miley Busiek’s family of nesting bald eagles. Engravings on this side include “United States of America,” “E Pluribus Unum,” and “In God We Trust.” The weight, purity, metal content, and face value are all inscribed on this side as well.
