1986-W 1 oz Proof American Gold Eagle PF-70 UCAM NGC
The year 1986 marked the very beginning of a legendary American numismatic tradition. This inaugural release of the one ounce gold coin introduced a stunning proof finish to a design that celebrates national symbols of freedom and family. Struck at the West Point Mint, this issue carries the distinctive 'W' mint mark, signifying its origin and the high standards of its production, which is fully backed by the United States government. On the obverse, a majestic figure of Lady Liberty is depicted in stride, moving forward against a backdrop of radiating sunbeams. The reverse presents a detailed scene of a male bald eagle in flight, clutching an olive branch as he returns to a nest containing a female eagle and their hatchlings. This first year coin contains exactly one troy ounce of pure gold, with a total global mintage of 446,290 pieces, making it a foundational piece of American coinage history.
