Proof American Gold Eagle coins stand out in the Gold Eagle coin series because of the beauty of the finish and the level of detail in the design features. Proof coins are struck in special process in modern coining that creates sharp edges and design lines, as well as unique visual appearances that add value in the minds of numismatists. Today, you can add the 2008-W ½ oz Proof American Gold Eagle coin to your collection courtesy of JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
American Gold Eagle coins were first introduced in 1986 following passage of the Gold Bullion Coin Act. The program originally consisted of a bullion coin in four weights and a proof coin in one weight. The ½ oz Proof American Gold Eagle was added in 1987, followed by two more fractional weights in 1988 and a four-weight uncirculated series in 2006.
These 2008-W ½ oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coins are unique in a number of ways. First and foremost, these were the last Proof American Gold Eagles struck by the United States Mint before a one-year hiatus in the proof coin program in 2009.
Additionally, each coin in this listing features a perfect proof grade, indicating that the full, original luster is still present and there are no detracting flaws of any kind. Deep-cameo coins feature strong, frosted design sets that appear to float above deeply-mirrored, clear background fields.
On the obverse of all American Gold Eagle coins is Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ Lady Liberty image, created in 1905 for the $20 Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle. The reverse features a family of nesting bald eagles created by Miley Busiek.
