1999-W 1/2 oz Proof American Gold Eagle PR-70 PCGS
The 1999 Proof American Gold Eagle is a remarkable example of United States coinage, combining half an ounce of gold with a highly reflective proof finish. Struck at the West Point Mint, this twenty five dollar denomination coin bears the distinctive 'W' mint mark, signaling its origin of manufacture. On the obverse, the design draws inspiration from the classic 1907 Gold Double Eagle by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. It portrays Lady Liberty walking forward, bathed in the radiant rays of a rising sun. The word LIBERTY is inscribed above her, framing this powerful symbol of freedom. The reverse, designed by Miley Busiek, presents a narrative of family and unity. It depicts a male bald eagle soaring through the air while clutching an olive branch, returning to a nest that holds a female eagle and their young. Inscriptions on this side include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST, E PLURIBUS UNUM, and the technical specifications reading 1/2 OZ. FINE GOLD 25 DOLLARS.
