When you’re buying American Gold Eagle coins, you’ll find a lot of options awaiting you. In the bullion range, the US Mint has offered a 1 oz, ½ oz, ¼ oz, and 1/10 oz coin each year since 1986. The proof range launched in 1986 with just a 1 oz coin, and grew to include a ½ oz coin by 1987 and the ¼ oz and 1/10 oz coins by 1988. The burnished coin, introduced in 2006, is only available in 1 oz.
On the obverse of all 2018 American Gold Eagle Coins is Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ depiction of Lady Liberty. Created in 1907, the design is considered the greatest American coin image of all time. Saint-Gaudens’ Liberty has free-flowing hair and a robe that flutters in the breeze as she walks confidently forward into the future with a guiding light. The US Capitol Building is visible at her feet in the background.
The reverse of the 2018 ½ oz American Gold Eagle Coin features Miley Busiek’s exclusive design for the Gold Eagle series. It depicts a male bald eagle returning to the nest with an olive branch, where a female eagle is standing guard over the hatchlings.
