1996-W 1 oz Proof American Gold Eagle PR-70 PCGS
The 1996-W 1 oz Gold American Eagle stands as a stunning example of United States coinage, blending historical inspiration with modern craftsmanship. Struck in one troy ounce of gold, this fifty-dollar denomination piece carries a rich visual narrative on both of its faces. On the obverse, observers will find a celebrated depiction of Lady Liberty, originally created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens for the 1907 Double Eagle. She is shown in stride, moving forward with grace against a backdrop of radiating sunbeams. This side of the coin features the word LIBERTY and the year of production. The reverse side presents a detailed family scene designed by Miley Busiek. It portrays a male bald eagle in flight, returning to a nest that holds a female eagle and their offspring. Legible inscriptions on this side include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST, E PLURIBUS UNUM, and the weight and denomination details, 1 OZ. FINE GOLD and 50 DOLLARS.
