The 1997 release of the 1/4 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coin was the second lowest of the 20th century. Only the 1998 coin had a lower mintage between 1988 and 1999. Now, 1997-W 1/4 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coins are available to you for purchase online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
In the 1990s, the demand for Proof Gold Eagle Coins began to drop off from the initial issues in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The highest mintage of the 1/4 oz Proof Gold Eagle in the 1990s came in 1990 when more than 62,000 coins were sold.
By the end of the decade, demand was half that figure, or lower. In fact, the 1997 mintage of 1/4 oz Proof Gold Eagles was just 302 coins higher than the lowest mintage of the decade, the 1998 coin.
The 1997-W Proof American Gold Eagle Coin's obverse design is a powerful representation of Lady Liberty, standing tall and strong with a torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other. Her dress and hair flow gracefully in the breeze, while the background features a depiction of the U.S. Capitol building.
In the reverse design field of the 1997-W 1/4 oz Proof Gold Eagle, a family of eagles is depicted in their natural habitat, with the mother eagle watching over her young in their nest. The intricate design captures the beauty and majesty of these magnificent creatures, with fine details that bring the scene to life.
These 1997-W 1/4 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coins are available to you in acrylic capsules. The coins are housed inside individual display boxes and come with a Certificate of Authenticity from the mint.
