The American Eagle Gold Proof Coin is the collector’s version of the The American Eagle Gold Bullion Coin. Every year a limited number of these proof coins are struck, extremely desirable, some years they have sold out just after issue. Proof American Eagles are minted in 1 oz., 1/2 oz., 1/4 oz., and 1/10 oz. sizes, and can be purchased in these sizes individually, or in two or four-piece sets.
The American Eagle Gold Proof coins undergo a comprehensive minting process using specialty dyes. To create an American Eagle Gold Proof coin, Lustrous blanks are manually fed into presses and struck multiple times so as to ensure detailed coin images. This results in a frosted and reflective appearance. The American Eagle Gold Proof Coin comes in a beautiful velvet case and includes a US Mint Certificate of Authority to guarantee the coin’s gold content, weight, and purity.
