Highlights:
Each 1987-W Proof American Eagle 1 oz Gold Coin in this product listing bears a PR70 grade from the Professional Coin Grading Service.

The DCAM label stands for deep-cameo and refers to the presence of strong, frosted design elements and deeply-mirrored, clear background fields.
Obverse
The obverse face of the 1987-W Proof American Eagle 1 oz Gold Coin includes one of the most iconic images of Liberty in American history. Designed in 1907 by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, this image of Liberty depicts her figure in front-facing relief as she walks away from Washington D.C. with a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. A ring of 50 stars encircles the design and rays of sunshine emanate from the background.
Reverse
On the reverse side of 1987-W Proof American Eagle Gold Coins is a depiction of the family of American bald eagles used exclusively on this coin. Miley Busiek created this image of a male eagle flying over the family nest as a female eagle guards over a young hatchling.
History
The Proof American Eagle Gold Coin debuted in 1986 with only these 1 oz gold coins available. In 1987, the 1/2 oz gold coin was introduced and in 1988 the 1/4 oz and 1/10 oz gold coins were introduced. The 1986 1 oz gold coin has the highest mintage in the history of the Proof American Eagle Gold Coin Series, while these 1987-W Proof American Eagle 1 oz Gold Coins have the second-highest mintage in the history of the series.
