Struck in 22-karat gold at the West Point Mint, these popular coins are collector versions of the official American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins. To commemorate the semiquincentennial of our Nation’s founding, this special one-year issue of the American Eagle Gold Coin bears the dates “1776 ~ 2026” and a unique Liberty Bell privy mark with the numeral “250.” The obverse (heads) design features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ classic full-length figure of Liberty with flowing hair, holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left.
The coins’ reverse (tails) design features a portrayal of a majestic eagle. Inscriptions are "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," and "IN GOD WE TRUST," along with the face value and weight.
Each coin is encapsulated and then packaged in a black clamshell and black presentation case that fits into an outer sleeve with a limited-edition Semiquincentennial design. Coins and sets are accompanied by a certificate of authenticity with matching imagery.
American Eagle Gold Proof Coins are priced according to the range in which they appear on the Mint’s Pricing of Numismatic Gold, Commemorative Gold, and Platinum and Palladium Products table. Pricing for the 2026 American Eagle Gold Proof Coins is in accordance with the United States Mint’s Pricing Policy.
