Product Details

Imagine an exquisite piece of numismatic history in the form of a half-ounce of fine gold, embodying a rich legacy and artistic brilliance. This 1996 proof edition of the half-ounce American Gold Eagle is an embodiment of elegance and historic significance, created by the esteemed U.S. Mint. With a history rooted in decades of excellence, these gold pieces capture both collectors' admiration and investors' confidence. This specific version benefits from a proof finish, offering a mirror-like luster that enhances its celebrated design.

In addition to its precious metal content, this collectible makes for an intriguing conversation piece due to its stunning detail and the craftsmanship it showcases. At its heart lies the iconic depiction of Lady Liberty, crafted by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, which adorns the obverse. This design originally graced the $20 Gold Double Eagle and continues to symbolize American heritage and strength. On the reverse, sculptor Miley Busiek presents a family of eagles—another symbolic nod to unity and peace that adds layers of meaning to the artwork.

Every aspect of the gold casting process is meticulous, ensuring that the material maintains its 22-karat purity and .9167 gold fineness—a standard of excellence upheld by the U.S. Mint. The unique finish achieved during minting elevates the reflective quality of this proof gold piece, underscoring the exceptional craftsmanship involved. Such care in creation ensures that this coin is not only a visual delight but also a testament to the enduring value of gold.

The accompanying box and Certificate of Authenticity enhance the desirability and value of this gold item. Proper packaging not only preserves the condition and luster of the coin over time but also amplifies its appeal to collectors who value provenance and presentation. For those looking to invest, the relative rarity and intrinsic value of gold stand out as a wise choice for those focused on long-term wealth preservation.
