The American Gold Eagle series was launched in 1986 with just a bullion and proof version available. In 2006, the United States Mint introduced a brand-new coin in the series, the Burnished American Gold Eagle. Each burnished coin is struck using a unique coining process that features burnished blanks hand loaded into the coining press, and struck multiple times with a die to create its stunning finish.
On the obverse side of each coin is Lady Liberty as she provides a guiding light for the nation’s future. Designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, she is visible walking forward from the setting sun, with a torch held aloft in her right hand. This image was first created in 1908 for use on the $20 Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle, as it is now known.
The reverse side of these coins bears Miley Busiek’s image of a family of nesting bald eagles. As the male returns with an olive branch, the female is visible standing vigilant watch over the nest and its hatchlings.
Each of the coins in this product listing is available with a Mint State 70 grade from the NGC. Perfect coins have their full, original luster, and no blemishes, contact marks, or hairlines. As part of the Early Release Series these coins were received by NGC within the first 30 days of the coin’s release.
