I have looked on all kinds of coin websites and can't find any information about a gold walking liberty with no date. It is in very good condition.

Proof Gold Eagles are the version of the popular American Gold Eagle coin, the United States' official gold bullion coin. As is the standard procedure for other proof editions, the Proof Gold Eagle is put through a specialized minting procedure utilizing specialized dies to create a highly detailed specimen. The mint uses lustrous coin blanks which a manually inserted into the presses. They are then where struck numerous times as to ensure that the softly frosted images on each coin are highly detailed, appearing as if to almost float above a mirrored background. The high attention to detail given to each proof eagle is what makes the coin a highly sought-after collector's item, as well as an investment to a portfolio containing precious metals.

When shipped from the Mint, the Proof Gold Eagle arrives packaged in an elegant, dark blue velvet presentation case. An official Certificate of Authority from the United Stated Mint is also included, stating the government’s guarantee of the coin’s weight, purity and stated gold content for every proof coin that it produces.

This video by Jonathan Rose, discusses the discontinuation of the proof gold eagle coin in 2009, due to a shortage of the burnished coin blanks needed to maintain production.

Can anyone recommend gold coins for a collector?

My boyfriend collects coins and I was hoping to add something to his collection for his birthday. I don't know much about it, but I know he only has one gold coin and he wants to expand that. I want to get him something interesting as well as valuable. He wanted a $50 gold proof with an Indian on one side and a buffalo on the other. Its .999 pure gold MS70 and it's going for 700 dollars atleast online. I can't afford something that expensive.

I am looking for a list of coins and hopefully links so I can see what they look like. Preferably gold and U.S. coins. Thanks!
