The American Eagle Gold coin is one of the most historic gold coins of all time. It is rich with American history and marks one of the most important events to take place in the US and global gold industry. First issued in 1987, the standard version was an instant hit. It is now available to collectors and investors in three different versions, including the Proof finish. This is by far one of the most gorgeous iterations of the series. Today, Provident Metals offers you the 1996-W Proof American Eagle 1 oz Gold Coin!
Coin Highlights:
The Proof American Eagle Gold coin is available in four distinct sizes, including the 1 oz weight. They have a composition of 91.67% gold, 5.33% copper, and 3% silver. Its unique to note that this coin does bear the W mint mark because it was minted by the West Point Mint. Not every coin in the Eagle Gold coin series has the privilege of bearing this prestigious mark.
Obverse
For the obverse field of the 1996-W Proof American Eagle 1 oz Gold Coin, Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ design will be featured. This is the Lady Liberty image which depicts the powerful hero of America walking toward the viewer in a flowing gown. She wields two important objects. One of them is an olive branch and the other is a torch that she holds in both hands. The inscription on this side of the coin is Liberty and 1996.
Reverse
The reverse field of the 1996-W Proof American Eagle 1 oz Gold Coin features an American bald eagle design created exclusively for the American Eagle Gold series by Miley Busiek. It depicts a nest full of bald eagle hatchlings under the watchful eye of a female eagle while a male eagle flies overhead clutching an olive branch in his talon.
