History of the 2018 $50 American Gold Eagle

When looking for your ideal 2018 1 oz American Gold Eagle, seek out a coin with a sharp strike and minimal to no surface abrasions. 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. There is a small image of the Capitol building in the background. The reverse of the coin was designed by sculptor, Miley Busiek. It features a male American Bald Eagle clutching an olive branch, flying over a nest with a female eagle and her baby. The American Gold Eagle is the official gold bullion coin of the United States and the price of gold continues to rise, adding value to these special coins.
