The Legacy of the American Gold Eagle Series
Introduced in 1986, the American Gold Eagle quickly became a cornerstone of modern U.S. coinage, recognized worldwide for its beauty and reliable gold content. Its design pays homage to two iconic American numismatic figures: Augustus Saint-Gaudens' majestic Lady Liberty striding forward on the obverse, and Miley Busiek's depiction of a family of eagles on the reverse. The 1997 edition continues this proud tradition. While typically admired for their bullion standard, certain issues like this one transcend their original purpose through special artistic enhancements, elevating them to a distinct category of collector's delight.
