Anniversary Gold Proof Eagles

If you are just starting out purchasing gold bullion coins, a great place to start might be with collecting Gold Proof Eagles from the United States Mint. They have been around since 1986 and have built a solid worldwide reputation as a premiere gold bullion investment grade coin. Featuring unique and beautiful designs, Gold Eagles are a treat to look at (and handle). Proof Gold Eagles are submitted to a specialized minting process employing the use of special dies in the creation process. Lustrous coin blanks, carefully handled one at a time by workers, are struck many times with the same die to create an amazing amount of detail. These detailed images appear frosted and seem to almost float above a smooth, mirror like background. Each coin is then shipped from the Mint complete with a Certificate Of Authenticity to guarantee it's point of origin and gold content.

Historically, these coins have trended upwards in value, especially during times of stock market and real estate uncertainty. This added benefit of knowing that the very coins that you are collecting may have a significant monetary can only enhance the feeling of pride that is felt while building a quality portfolio of gold bullion coins. Many collectors try to focus on collecting just a specific type of Gold Eagle coin, taking time to pick only the finest specimens. Many times this is accomplished by purchasing only third-party graded coins that have achieved superior condition grades. NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation) and PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) are the two best-known coin grading sites in the industry. While purchasing graded coins may cost a bit more in the short-term, their authentication and third-party backing will make your collection far more valuable in the long run. By adding coins to your collection slowly and methodically over a number of years, you will greatly reduce the number of "mistake purchases" that you make, especially in the early going. You collection will be far more valuable in the long run if it is built with say, 20 coins that you purchased at 100 dollars each, than 200 coins that you paid 10 dollars each to obtain. Ultimately, the real value of the collection is enjoyment that you take from the process of building it in the first place. With coin collecting, the journey is truly half the fun.

American Gold Proof Eagle coins are subjected to a specialized process during production. The process starts when Mint workers manually feed specially burnished gold coin blanks into coin presses that have been adapted with modified dies. These gold proof editions are struck numorous times so the gently frosted, highly detailed images appear to hover above a mirror-like field.

Through careful inspection, each coin is checked for any defects, and each coin is then carefully sealed inside of a rigid plastic capsule for protection and preservation. The coins are then placed into a beautiful velvet presentation case and packaged with a genuine Certificate of Authenticity. Each Gold Proof Eagle is guaranteed by the United States Government for their weight, purity and stated gold content. Available in four sizes – 1oz, 1/2 ounce, 1/4 ounce, and 1/10 ounce, in addition to a 4-coin set which contains one coin in each denomination.

The obverse of these beautiful gold bullion coins feature the famous coin sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ dramatic depiction of Liberty with her hair flowing gently as she bears a torch in her right hand and holds an olive branch in her left. The coin's reverse format, designed by sculptor Miley Busiek, features a rendition male eagle clutching a branch, while he flies above a nest which holds young eagle hatchlings and their mother.

Strictly limited in numbers, Proof Gold Eagles are highly sought-after by gold bullion collectors worldwide.
