Introduced in 1986, American Gold Eagle coins became instantly sought-after as bullion and proof coins. Initially available in prescribed weights of 1 oz, ½ oz, ¼ oz, and 1/10 oz for bullion coins, the proof program initially featured only the 1 oz coin, with fractionals introduced later. By 1989, the 1 oz American Gold Eagle coin had witnessed a notable decrease in demand compared to its inaugural year just four years earlier. Demand plummeted from 1.362 million in 1986 to just 415,790 of the 1989 1 oz American Gold Eagle coins.

The obverse of the 1989 1 oz American Gold Eagle showcases Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic portrayal of Lady Liberty. She graces the design with flowing hair and a stunning robe as she strides forth from the nation’s capital, holding her torch aloft as a guiding light for the nation.

Meanwhile, the reverse of all American Gold Eagle coins features the design exclusively crafted for this series by Miley Busiek. It depicts a female eagle confidently protecting her hatchlings in the nest, while a male eagle soars above.

All 1989 1 oz American Gold Eagle coins listed here are in BU Condition. While they show no signs of wear and tear, there might be slight imperfections such as breaks in luster, surface spotting, or minor contact marks due to the production process.
