In the late 1990s, demand for American Eagle Gold Coins was at near all-time lows. Prior to the onset of the Y2K crisis, interest in precious metals was relatively low as the American economy was strong and the Dotcom boom was carrying on. Today, you have the chance to buy 1997-W Proof American Eagle 1/4 oz Gold Coins online from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
The 1997 release of the Proof American Eagle Gold Coin came with the second-lowest mintage of any 20th-century coin in the series. The 1998 issue marked the low point of the 20th century, but was just 302 coins lower than the 1997 issue.
Obverse
On the obverse of the 1997-W Proof Eagle 1/4 oz Gold Coin is a design that features the iconic figure of Lady Liberty, her hair flowing in the wind as she strides forward, symbolizing the American spirit of progress and innovation. The design is expertly crafted with fine details, from the folds of her gown to the intricate lines of her facial features. Inscriptions include LIBERTY, 1997, and the W mint mark.
Reverse
The reverse side of 1997-W Proof American Eagle Gold Coins comes with a majestic eagle is shown soaring over a nest, clutching an olive branch in its talons as a symbol of peace and prosperity. Inscriptions on this face of the coin read UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST, E PLURIBUS UNUM, 10 DOLLARS, and 1/4 OZ. FINE GOLD.
