In this product listing youll receive a 1/2 oz Proof American Gold Eagle in its original US Mint box with a Certificate of Authenticity. 1/2 oz Gold Eagles were originally produced by the Philadelphia Mint from 1987 until 1993 featuring the P mint mark. Starting in 1994 and continuing today, the 1/2 oz Gold Eagle is produced at the West Point Mint with a W mint mark.
The obverse of the 1/2 oz Proof American Gold Eagle coin is the image of Liberty created in 1907 by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. This design featured Liberty in full-figure relief as she guides the nation forward with her torch. Saint-Gaudens’s design originally appeared on the $20 Gold Double Eagle coin from 1907 to 1933.
On the reverse of the 1/2 oz Proof American Gold Eagle is the image of the American bald eagle. In this design, there is a nest with a group of hatchlings under the watchful eye of a female bald eagle. A male bald eagle is shown flying overhead. This design is exclusive to the American Gold Eagle series and was created by Miley Busiek exclusively for these coins.
