The 2017 American Eagle Gold Coin from the US Mint

The 2017 American Eagle Gold Coin is released for public on June 1. This coin is the 10th issue in the 1-ounce gold coin series which debuted in 2006 and a collector version of the US Mint’s American Eagle Gold Coin program. The 2017 American Eagle One Ounce Gold Proof Coin features a breathtaking design of Liberty and minted in 22–karat gold at the United States Mint at West Point. The obverse features a version of Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ full-length figure of Liberty with flowing hair, holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. Its reverse designed by sculptor Miley Busiek, showing a family of eagles and Inscriptions include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, IN GOD WE TRUST, the composition of 1 OZ. FINE GOLD and the face value of 50 DOLLARS.

Each coin is encapsulated in plastic and packaged in a presentation case with a Certificate of Authenticity. The Uncirculated coins have been issued annually since, except 2009, when the 1-ounce planchets were reserved strictly for production of bullion coins, without Mint marks. No Proof American Eagle 1-ounce gold or silver coins were issued in 2009 either. The 2017-W edition is the 10th issued since 2006 when the U.S. Mint introduced the Uncirculated finish with W Mint mark for the American Eagle 1-ounce .9167 fine gold coin.
