The magnificent proof release from 1998 represents the pinnacle of American coin minting. This particular 1-ounce U.S. gold piece is steeped in historical significance and crafted with meticulous attention to detail. As part of America’s most iconic precious metal series, this gold coin encapsulates both artistic elegance and enduring value. Its mirror-like finishes, struck impeccably by the renowned West Point Mint, enhance its desirability among collectors and investors alike.
Crafted with superior artistry, the coin displays the revered design of Lady Liberty by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. This timeless image of a majestic Liberty walking towards the forefront with a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left signifies peace and enlightenment. The reverse, designed by sculptor Miley Busiek, gracefully features a male eagle carrying an olive branch flying above a nest containing a female eagle and her hatchlings. This symbolism of family and strength remains a testament to American tradition and values.
Minted to exacting standards, this exquisite gold coin boasts a purity of .9167, making it not only a beautiful addition to any collection but also a viable bullion investment. Being part of the highly respected American Eagle collection, it continues to command respect and recognition globally. As a proof coin, it enjoys a superior finish, achieved through specialized striking techniques that create its signature frosted design elements contrasted against deep mirror backgrounds.
Trace its roots back to the genesis of the Gold Eagle series in 1986, where it quickly established itself as the flagship U.S. Mint bullion coin. These pieces are revered not only for their aesthetic allure but also for their robustness in challenging economic climates, a true store of wealth cherished by savvy investors. The 1998 proof edition, with its accompanying box and Certificate of Authenticity, offers an assurance of authenticity and meticulous preservation, augmenting its appeal to both collectors and investors.
Encased in its original packaging ensures this product is presented just as it was when it left the West Point Mint, safeguarding its condition and retaining its collectible value over time—a must-have for numismatists seeking to enrich their portfolio with a piece of U.S. minting excellence.
