History of the 2014-W $50 American Gold Eagle

The 2014-W 1 oz American Gold Eagle is worth the effort to find well-struck with nice surfaces. The Gold Eagle is a heavier coin that can sometimes lead to surface scratches and scuffs. The American Gold Eagle is the official gold bullion coin of the United States. The obverse of the American Gold Eagle was designed by Augustus Saint Gaudens, a rendition of the full-length Lady Liberty with her hair flowing and a long dress. She holds a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. A small image of the Capitol building can be seen in the background. The reverse of the coin was designed by sculptor, Miley Busiek, and depicts a male American Bald Eagle holding an olive branch, flying over a nest with a female eagle and her baby.
