In 1999, the United States Mint saw a marked increase in interest for its Gold Eagle Coins. Amidst the rising concerns surrounding the Y2K crisis, both the Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) and Proof Gold Eagles experienced a boost in demand from collectors and investors. The 1999 Proof Gold Eagle had significantly lower mintages than the BU version but still enjoyed a notable rise in interest. Today, 1999-W Proof American Eagle 1 oz Gold Coins are available at Provident Metals.

Highlights:

  • Comes with a US Mint presentation box and a Certificate of Authenticity!
  • 14th release of Proof Gold Eagles!
  • Final mintage of only 31,427 coins!
  • Contains 1 Troy oz of actual gold content.
  • The face value of $50 (USD) is fully backed by the US government.
  • On the obverse is Lady Liberty.
  • The reverse features a family of bald eagles.
  • W mint mark from the West Point Mint.

All 1999-W Proof American Eagle 1 oz Gold Coins offered here arrive in their original United States Mint packaging. Each coin is protected in a capsule and presented in a box, complete with a Certificate of Authenticity. These coins are proof specimens, featuring frosted designs with mirrored background fields.

Obverse

The obverse of the 1999-W Proof American Eagle Gold Coin displays the iconic image of Lady Liberty by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. This detailed relief shows Liberty walking towards the viewer, holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. The background includes sunrays, a ring of stars, and the U.S. Capitol Building. Inscriptions include LIBERTY, the W mint mark, and 1999.

Reverse

On the reverse side of the 1999-W Proof Eagle 1 oz Gold Coin is a beautiful depiction of a family of bald eagles. This image illustrates a female bald eagle in the nest with her hatchlings while a male eagle is soaring above, symbolizing protection and family bonds. Inscriptions read UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST, 1 OZ. FINE GOLD, and 50 DOLLARS.

History

In 1999, demand for all four weights in the Proof Gold Eagle Series surged due to the peak of Y2K concerns. The 1/10 oz coin had the smallest year-over-year increase but maintained the highest mintage among the four weights. The 1 oz gold coin, while having the second-lowest mintage behind the 1/2 oz coin, saw the most significant jump in demand, climbing from 25,886 coins the previous year to 31,427 in 1999.
