1989 1 oz American Gold Eagle MS-70 NGC
The 1989 American Gold Eagle stands as a remarkable example of United States coinage, minted from one troy ounce of 0.9167 fine gold. This fifty-dollar denomination coin showcases a harmonious blend of classic and modern American numismatic art, bringing together two distinct eras of design on a single gold canvas. On the obverse, the figure of Lady Liberty is depicted in stride, moving forward against a backdrop of radiating sunbeams. This celebrated design, originally created by sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, remains one of the most recognized images in coinage history. The reverse, designed by Miley Busiek, offers a detailed family portrait of America's national bird. It features a male bald eagle in mid-flight, clutching an olive branch as he returns to a nest containing a female eagle and their young.
