{{/presale}}The iconic American Gold Eagle series from the United States Mint is a cherished favorite among collectors and precious metals investors. First released in 1986, these beautiful gold coins showcase the finest in American artistry and craftsmanship. At BGASC, we’re proud to offer the stunning 1997-W 1 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coin from this renowned series.
Highlights:
Every 1997-W 1 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coin will arrive secured in its original U.S. Mint packaging, including a display box and Certificate of Authenticity. As an expert-crafted proof strike, it features fully frosted designs set against deeply mirrored fields. The coin also bears the prestigious “W” mint mark of the famed West Point facility where it was struck.
Obverse
The obverse of this spectacular 1997-W 1 oz Proof Gold Eagle Coin showcases Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ masterpiece, the Walking Liberty design. Created in 1907 for the $20 double eagle, it portrays Lady Liberty striding confidently forward, torch held high in one hand and olive branches in the other. Inscriptions read 1997, W, and LIBERTY.
Reverse
The reverse of the 1997-W Proof American Gold Eagle Coin features Miley Busiek’s exquisite sculptural depiction of a family of eagles. A male eagle soars overhead while a protective female keeps watch over her hatchlings in their nest below. Inscriptions include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST, E PLURIBUS UNUM, MB, JW, 1 OZ FINE GOLD, and 50 DOLLARS.
History
Since its 1986 debut, the American Gold Eagle series has mesmerized collectors. The 1 oz proof was first issued that year, with fractional weights following in 1987 and 1988. Apart from 2009, proof Gold Eagles have had an unbroken annual release ever since.
