Each Proof American Gold Eagle Coin is struck multiple times to create a high level of detail and a mirror-like finish. The coin is also specially treated to give it a frosted appearance on the raised areas of the design.

Since its introduction in 1986, the American Gold Eagle has been available annually in four weights of 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz gold, with a 1 oz gold coin also offered in 1986 and issued each year since, except 2009.

Obverse design elements on the 2001-W 1 oz Proof Gold Eagle include a modern take on Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ depiction of Lady Liberty. This front-facing relief shows Liberty walking toward the viewer with an olive branch in one hand and a torch in the other.

Reverse visuals on 2001-W Proof American Gold Eagle Coins include a family of American bald eagles. Designed in 1986 by Miley Busiek for this series, it depicts a male eagle soaring above the nest as a female eagle is perched in the nest with hatchlings.

These 2001-W 1 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coins come in capsules with a presentation box and a Certificate of Authenticity. The announced mintage in 2001 was 24,555 coins, the third highest among the four available weights.
