The 2023-W 1 oz Proof American Gold Eagle (w/Box & COA) is a premium collector coin produced at the West Point Mint facility of the United States Mint. The “W” mint mark appears on the coin, confirming its West Point origin.
This proof coin contains 1 full troy ounce of gold and is struck in durable 22-karat (.9167 fine) gold, alloyed with copper and silver for enhanced strength while preserving full gold content.
Proof coins are specially manufactured using highly polished dies and planchets, resulting in frosted design elements contrasted against deep, mirror-like fields. The precision striking process creates exceptional detail and eye appeal.
The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic Lady Liberty design, widely considered one of the most beautiful motifs in American coinage. The reverse showcases the modern bald eagle portrait introduced in 2021, symbolizing American strength and national pride.
This offering includes the original U.S. Mint presentation box and Certificate of Authenticity (COA), verifying the coin’s authenticity, specifications, and official issuance.
