The 2024-W 1 oz Proof American Gold Eagle (w/Box & COA) is a beautifully struck collector coin produced at the West Point Mint facility of the United States Mint. The “W” mint mark appears on the coin, signifying its West Point origin.
This proof coin contains 1 full troy ounce of gold and is minted in 22-karat (.9167 fine) gold, alloyed with copper and silver for added durability while maintaining its full gold content. Proof coins are specially struck using polished dies and planchets, resulting in sharp details, frosted devices, and deeply mirrored fields.
The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic Lady Liberty design, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful motifs in American coinage. The reverse displays the modern bald eagle portrait introduced in 2021, symbolizing strength and national pride.
This offering includes the original U.S. Mint presentation box and Certificate of Authenticity (COA), confirming the coin’s specifications and authenticity. Proof Gold Eagles are struck in limited mintages compared to bullion issues, making them especially attractive to collectors.
As the official gold coin of the United States, the American Gold Eagle carries a $50 face value and is backed by the U.S. government for weight and purity.
