Gold Eagles were launched in proof in 1986, along with the bullion version as well as the bullion and proof American Silver Eagle coins. However, the Proof American Gold Eagle series included only a 1 oz coin that first year. The ½ oz coin debuted in 1987, with the ¼ oz and 1/10 oz coins added in 1988.
The United States Mint has set no mintage limit for the release of its popular 2017-W 4-Coin Proof American Gold Eagle Box Sets, making now the perfect time to buy gold and add it to your personal collection. Your purchase of this 4-Coin Gold Eagle set includes a beautiful, brown satin-lined collector’s box with a Certificate of Authenticity.
On the obverse of all four 2017-W Proof American Gold Eagle coins you’ll find the image of Liberty, created in 1907 by Augustus Saint-Gaudens for use on the nation’s gold coins in the early 20th century.
The reverse of all Proof Gold Eagles include an image of a family of nesting bald eagles. The design depicts a male eagle in flight over the nest, which contains a grouping of young hatchlings under the watchful eye of the female bald eagle. This design was created in 1986 exclusively for the Gold Eagle by Miley Busiek.
