The 2006 release of American Gold Eagles witnessed a surge in demand, particularly for the 1 oz Proof Gold Eagle. Interestingly, while demand for the four weights in the BU range declined, the three fractional weights in the Proof range also experienced a decrease. Notably, the 1 oz Proof Gold Eagle saw a significant increase in production, rising from 35,246 coins in 2005 to 47,092 coins in 2006.

The obverse of the 2006-W Proof American Gold Eagle showcases the iconic image of Lady Liberty, originally designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens in 1907. This timeless design captures Liberty striding forward with a torch and an olive branch, symbolizing hope and peace.

Turning to the reverse side of the 2006-W 1 oz Proof Gold Eagle Coins, you’ll discover Miley Busiek’s striking portrayal of the American bald eagle. This poignant depiction features a family of eagles, with a female and hatchling nestled in the nest while a male eagle soars overhead, symbolizing strength and unity.
