$50 American Gold Eagle Proof

With American Gold Eagle Proof Coins, you get a 22-karat gold mint with a W etched on its surface, proof that the West Point US Mint created them. The Gold Proof Eagles are distinguished primarily through this distinctive minting process. For the creation of the coins, burnished blank coins are pressed on specialized equipment. After that step, the coin is struck several times, so that a detailed image is created that appears frosted and elevated above the reflective remainder of the coin.The image on the Gold Proof Eagle floats over the shiny finish of the background nicely because of this unique method.

Every coin is placed under careful inspection, and once they are approved, the Gold Proof Eagles enter a sturdy case of plastic, then in a satin-lined presentation case complete with a Certificate of Authenticity to verify that it's genuine. Read more
