1986 $50 American Eagle One-Ounce Gold Coin

American gold eagle coins carry an obverse design originally created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, used on the $20 double eagle gold coin in 1907. The striding Liberty motif lasted on that denomination until 1933, when the production of circulating gold coins ended in the United States. The design was then adapted for use on the American eagle gold coins in 1986, and has appeared on the obverse since then. On the reverse of all American gold eagle coins is a portrait showcasing a family of eagles around a nest. This design, by Miley Busiek, debuted with the gold eagles in 1986.

Proof American gold eagle coins have been offered directly to the public by the United States Mint since the series debut in 1986. These beautiful proof coins boast deep, mirrorlike fields and richly frosted cameo devices and lettering, and are mainly targeted towards collectors. Accordingly, they are sold at significant premiums above their respective spot values, however, their much higher level of surface and visual quality and lower mintages tend to justify these prices. Most precious-metal investors do not spend their portfolio funds on buying numismatic gold eagles, but these coins still often find crossover appeal with investors who want a collectible item with significant intrinsic value.
