{{/presale}}American Eagle Gold coins are available from the United States Mint each year in three versions: Brilliant Uncirculated, proof, and burnished. The two longest-running options are the Brilliant Uncirculated and proof, with only a 1 oz proof coin available dating back to the 1986 debut of the series. Today, you have an opportunity to purchase Proof American Eagle 1 oz Gold Coins from random years in near-perfect condition at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Proof American Eagle Gold coins were released in stages over the course of three years. The first was the 1 oz gold coin introduced in 1986 alongside the entire lineup of four gold bullion coins. In 1987, the 1/2 oz proof was released, followed by the 1/4 oz and 1/10 oz proofs in 1988. The 1 oz proof is often the best-selling weight in the collectible range, though that is not the case in every single year as the 1/10 oz coin is also popular.
Obverse
On the obverse side of the Proof American Eagle 1 oz Gold Coin, you will find an effigy of Lady Liberty. This iconic design was created in 1907 by Augustus Saint-Gaudens for use on the $20 Double Eagle Gold coin in circulation in the United States at that time. Liberty is featured in front-facing relief with a torch in her right hand, an olive branch in her left, rays of sunshine emanating from behind her figure, and a ring of 50 stars around the coins design field.
Reverse
The reverse face of Proof American Eagle Gold Coins includes the image of a family of American bald eagles. This design includes a female eagle with a young hatchling inside of the family nest as a male eagle is depicted flying overhead. This image is exclusive to the American Eagle Gold Series and was created in 1986 by Miley Busiek.
History
Proof American Eagle 1 oz Gold Coins hold the top two sales records for an individual date mark. The 1986 release sold a total of 446,290 coins, nearly three times the amount of the next-highest mintage in any of the fractional-ounce weights. The second-highest mintage in the series is the 1987 1 oz coin with 147,498 coins.
Ordering
