The US Mint introduced the Proof Gold Eagles in 1986 with only a 1 oz gold coin. While the bullion version of the coin came with four weights in that first year, it would take the mint two additional years to roll out the full assortment of proof coins. These 1/2 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coins were first issued in 1987.

All 1/2 oz Proof American Gold Eagle coins in this listing are available to you with the protective capsules. While Proof Gold Eagles are originally offered with capsule, box, and a Certificate of Authenticity, JM Bullion offers these coins today only with a plastic capsule.

We make 1/2 oz Proof Gold Eagles available randomly in this listing. We’ll select your coin when your payment is processed and cannot guarantee the date mark you receive. If you purchase several coins through this listing you may receive multiples of the same date mark.

On the obverse of Proof American Gold Eagle Coins is the image of Lady Liberty. Designed in 1907 by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, this vision of Liberty captures her figure in forward-facing relief as she walks away from the national capital. She clutches a large olive branch in her left hand as she holds her torch high overhead in her right hand to guide the country forward into a more peaceful future.

The reverse of 1/2 oz Proof American Gold Eagles includes the design of American bald eagles. Created by Miley Busiek in 1986, this design features a male eagle in flight over the nest as a female eagle shelters a young hatchling.
