In 1999, the United States Mint noted a surge in interest for its Gold Eagle Coins. With the looming concerns about the Y2K crisis, both the Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) and Proof Gold Eagles saw a significant rise in demand from buyers. The 1999 Proof Gold Eagle had lower mintages compared to its BU counterpart but still experienced a noticeable increase in popularity. Currently, 1999-W 1 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coins are available at BGASC.

Highlights:

  • Comes with a US Mint presentation box and a Certificate of Authenticity!
  • 14th release of Proof Gold Eagles!
  • Final mintage of only 31,427 coins!
  • Contains 1 Troy oz of actual gold content.
  • The face value of $50 (USD) is fully backed by the US government.
  • On the obverse is Lady Liberty.
  • The reverse features a family of bald eagles.
  • W mint mark from the West Point Mint.

Every 1999-W 1 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coin available here comes in its original United States Mint box. The coin is housed in a protective capsule within a presentation box and includes a Certificate of Authenticity. These coins are proof specimens featuring frosted designs against mirrored background fields.

Obverse

The obverse of the 1999-W Proof American Gold Eagles showcases the renowned image of Lady Liberty by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. This front-facing relief captures Liberty walking toward the viewer, holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. The background displays radiant sunrays, a ring of stars, and the U.S. Capitol Building.

Reverse

On the reverse side of the 1999-W 1 oz Proof Gold Eagle Coin is a depiction of a family of bald eagles. This beautiful image portrays a female bald eagle in her nest with small hatchlings, while a male eagle soars above, symbolizing strength and family.

History

In 1999, all four weights of the Proof Gold Eagle Series saw a boost in demand as the Y2K concerns intensified. Among these, the 1/10 oz coin had the smallest year-over-year increase but retained the highest mintage of all weights. The 1 oz gold coin, however, recorded the second-lowest mintage behind the 1/2 oz coin, but had the largest overall increase in demand, jumping from 25,886 the previous year to 31,427 in 1999.
