Proof American Gold Eagles have a fascinating history at the United States Mint. The Gold Eagle Series was introduced in 1986 and initially offered four BU gold coins and 1 proof gold coin. While fractional-ounce coins were available from the outset in the BU Series, proof coins were not offered in fractional ounces until 1987-1988. Right now, 2013-W 1/4 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 2013-W 1/4 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coin offered here comes in original packaging. The coins are housed in capsules and presented in a display box. There is a Certificate of Authenticity included with each coin. Proof Gold Eagles boast frosted devices overlaying mirrored background fields.
Proof Gold Eagles were introduced in 1986 when the broader Gold Eagle Series debuted, but the coin was only available in 1 oz gold. Fractional-ounce coins were introduced over the next two years in the Proof Gold Eagle Series. The 1/2 oz gold coin was introduced first in 1987, followed by the 1/4 oz and 1/10 oz coins in 1988.
The obverse of 2013-W Proof American Gold Eagles comes with Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic image of Lady Liberty. Designed in 1907, it features the full-length figure of Liberty in front-facing relief as she walks toward the viewer with a torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other. The background design elements include sun rays, a ring of stars, and the U.S. Capitol Building.
On the reverse of 2013-W 1/4 oz Gold Eagle Coins, you will find a family of bald eagles. This design from Miley Busiek was created specifically for the Gold Eagle bullion series. It depicts a male eagle flying over the family nest as a female guards the hatchlings.
