History
Introduced in 1987, the American Gold Eagle Coin collection is considered the official gold product of the United States. This exclusive series from the U.S. Mint holds incredibly patriotic value for American citizens, making it a popular bullion collection around the world. When this series was first introduced, fractional-ounce coins were being produced by the Philadelphia Mint. It wasnt until 1994 that the production of all weight denominations permanently moved to the West Point Mint.
Obverse
The image of Lady Liberty is shown on the obverse of the 1988-P Proof American Eagle 1/10 oz Gold Coin. This image was taken from the Double Eagle design originally created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Lady Liberty remains the featured obverse image in this collection. She is seen striding forward with a torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other.
Reverse
A special design created by Miley Busiek is shown on the reverse of the 1988-P Proof American Eagle 1/10 oz Gold Coin. In this image, a male eagle flies overhead carrying an olive branch with its talons. He flies toward the nest, where the female eagle and eaglets sit waiting. The coins value, purity, and weight are also included on this side of the coin.
