The official gold coin of the United States is the American Gold Eagle. It features imagery of the nation's most iconic symbols, including Lady Liberty on the obverse side of the coin with the American bald eagle on the reverse. These coins are produced each year by the US Mint and are available in multiple weights and versions. Right now, the 2017 ½ oz American Gold Eagle Coin is available in perfect condition through JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
All 2017 ½ oz American Gold Eagle Coins in this JM Bullion listing are considered perfect specimens in the eyes of the NGC. Coins with an MS70 grade have full, original mint luster and bear no detracting flaws anywhere on the surface areas of the coin. The Early Release designation identifies the coins as from the original 30-day period following the US Mint’s issue start-date for 2017 coins.
When the United States Mint released the American Gold Eagle for the first time, it marked the return of a coin design not seen on US coinage since 1933. Augustus Saint-Gaudens designed the Lady Liberty image in 1907 at the behest of President Theodore Roosevelt, who had initiated a bold plan to redesign all American coinage with a modern, distinctly American appeal.
On the obverse of 2017 ½ oz American Gold Eagles you’ll find that historic image of Lady Liberty created by Saint-Gaudens. His original image in 1907 featured Liberty surrounded by 46 stars, as the nation had only 46 states at the time. By the time it appeared on the $20 Gold Double Eagle, two stars were added for Arizona and New Mexico. This coin features 50 stars, reflecting the post-World War II additions of Hawaii and Alaska to the Union.
The reverse of each 2017 ½ oz American Gold Eagle Coin bears Miley Busiek’s image of a family of bald eagles. In her depiction, a male bald eagle is shown flying over the nest, which holds a group of hatchlings that are watched over carefully by a female eagle.
