Proof Gold Eagles

American Eagles were the first new gold coins minted in the U.S. following the passage of the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985. Before that, the U.S. Mint had not produced any gold items since 1933. Today, one-ounce American Eagles remain in production and are prized by investors and collectors alike. Mint State Gold is a leading online vendor of American Gold Eagles and other gold coins for the collector’s market. We have an extensive inventory of American Gold Eagle Proof (PR) and Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) Eagles, as well as business strike coins in Mint State (MS) condition.

American Gold Eagle Proof Coins

The U.S. Mint produces American Gold Eagle Proof coins almost exclusively for the collectors’ market. They are minted at West Point using a multi-strike die process that creates a high level of detail and a mirror-like finish. The result is a coin of unique beauty — one to be cherished as part of your collection.

American Eagle Proof coins feature a “W” mint mark located underneath the date. Often, they come in special commemorative packaging. Proof versions have been made in all American Eagle denominations, though the one-ounce ($50) version is common in the collectors' market.

Grading American Eagle Proof Coins

The Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) and the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) both certify American Proof Gold Eagle coins. Our Proof Gold Eagles typically have a grade of 69 or 70 — the highest possible scores on the Sheldon Grading scale used by both PCGS and NGC.

Our Proof American Eagles offer exceptional eye appeal and luster. Additionally, buying professionally graded Proof coins allows you to shop with confidence and to know you’re getting an authentic, superior coin that will be a centerpiece of your collection for years to come.

A Part of Our History

Gold once formed the basis of the U.S. economy. American Eagle coins are a piece of living history that reaches back to that tradition.

In addition to being exceptionally beautiful, Proof American Eagle coins are also an excellent and popular investment. For example, the United States Mint started offering the Proof versions of the 2016 American Gold Eagles in March of 2016. The popular one-tenth-ounce Gold Eagle Proof coin sold 8,036 pieces just in its first week. The various other versions also performed exceptionally well on the market, and continue to be popular choices for investors. The 2016 product is a newer model of a long-coveted piece of history. Investing in any of these precious and attractive coins is not just a smart choice — it’s an age-old tradition. Many investors buy them to diversify their portfolios and create a hedge against inflation and uncertainty.
