The first fractional-weight coin introduced by the United States Mint in the proof series was the ½ oz weight. While the bullion coins debuted in 1986 with all four weights of gold for sale, the proof coins had just a 1 oz option in that first year. Today, 2018-W ½ oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coins are available to you online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The United States Mint introduced the Proof Gold Eagles in a staggered manner. In 1986, the 1 oz coin debuted by itself. In 1987, these ½ oz Proof American Gold Eagle coins were introduced. It would be one more year before the US Mint completed the proof series with the release of the ¼ oz and 1/10 oz Proof Gold Eagle coins.
All 2018-W ½ oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coins available here today are certified as PR70 by the PCGS. This is the highest grade the PCGS issues to any coin, and indicates the presence of full, original mint luster with a complete lack of detracting flaws on the surface areas or design elements.
With a Deep-cameo designation, you will see that these coins have strong, frosted matte finishes to the design elements and a deeply-mirrored, clear background field. Included in the slab of the ½ oz Proof Gold Eagle is the First Strike label. The FS label is for coins received within 30 days of their initial release from the United States Mint.
On the obverse of 2018-W ½ oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coin is the image of Liberty. This design comes from Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and was created by him at the behest of President Theodore Roosevelt to help modernized and refine the gold coin designs in circulation during the early 20th century.
The reverse of the Proof American Gold Eagle Coin features the design of the American bald eagle. This design was created by Miley Busiek in 1986, and it features a male eagle flying over the nest with an olive branch as a female watches the hatchlings. On this side you’ll also find a “W” mint mark.
