Under the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985, passed by Congress in that same year, all American Gold Eagle coins must be struck using only gold sourced from within the United States. The coins must be alloyed with silver and copper to produce a final product that is more wear-resistant, even though the coins never make it into circulation as standard currency.
The 2007-W ½ oz Proof American Gold Eagles available to you in this JM Bullion product listing feature a grade of PR70 from the PCGS. A perfect proof coin has its full, original mint luster, and no detracting flaws such as contact marks, breaks in the luster, hairlines, or other blemishes.
A Deep-cameo coin is one in which the design set appears to float above the background field. This contrast is created by striking polished diecasts under immense pressure, leaving a frosted finish on the design and a deeply-mirrored, clear appearance for the background field.
On the obverse side of all Proof American Gold Eagle coins is Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ depiction of Lady Liberty. First released in 1907 on US gold coins, it has been updated to include 50 stars in the design to accurately represent all current US states.
The reverse side bears the image of a male bald eagle as it returns to the family nest, where a female is standing guard over the hatchlings. Miley Busiek designed this image in 1986 specifically for American Gold Eagle coins.
