The 2018-W 1 oz Proof American Gold Eagle (w/Box & COA) is a beautifully struck collector coin produced at the West Point facility of the United States Mint. The “W” mint mark confirms its West Point origin.
This proof coin contains 1 full troy ounce of gold and is minted in durable 22-karat (.9167 fine) gold, alloyed with copper and silver for added strength while maintaining full gold content.
Proof coins are struck using specially polished dies and planchets, resulting in frosted design elements contrasted against deep, mirror-like fields with exceptional detail and clarity.
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 original family-of-eagles design by Miley Busiek, depicting a male eagle carrying an olive branch flying above a nest with a female eagle and hatchlings.
This offering includes the original U.S. Mint presentation box and Certificate of Authenticity (COA), verifying its official Mint issue and specifications.
As the official gold bullion 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.
