The Enduring Legacy of the American Gold Eagle Series
First introduced in 1986, the American Gold Eagle program was authorized by the United States Congress to provide a beautiful and trustworthy gold coin. Each coin features Augustus Saint-Gaudens' iconic "Walking Liberty" design on its obverse, originally used on the nation's most celebrated gold coin from 1907 to 1933. The reverse, designed by Miley Busiek, depicts a majestic family of eagles, symbolizing American strength and unity. Proof versions, like this 2011-W issue, are produced with special care, resulting in frosted devices set against mirror-like fields, creating a stunning visual contrast that appeals to discerning collectors worldwide.
