The U.S. Mint’s American Gold Eagle coin series marked its 30th anniversary in 2016. This series includes various gold coins in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU), Proof, and Burnished finishes. Since 2011, only the BU and Proof coins are available in fractional-ounce sizes. Among these, the 1/4 oz coin typically has a lower mintage. The 2016-W 1/4 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coin is now available for purchase from BullionMax.
Coin Highlights:
The American Gold Eagle’s history is linked to the Double Eagle gold piece, minted from 1907 to 1933, designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens at the request of President Theodore Roosevelt to enhance the beauty of American coinage. Saint-Gaudens created a high-relief coin that remains highly regarded. The U.S. Mint began annually issuing the American Gold Eagle in 1986, blending investment value with collectible beauty.
The 2016-W 1/4 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coin comes in an elegant presentation case with a Certificate of Authenticity. Proof coins feature frosted designs with mirrored backgrounds. In 2016, the 30th anniversary spurred a rise in demand for Proof Gold Eagles, with the 1/4 oz Proof Gold Eagle’s mintage increasing from 15,775 in 2015 to 22,828 in 2016.
The obverse of the 2016-W Proof American Gold Eagle Coin displays Saint-Gaudens’ iconic Lady Liberty, with flowing hair, holding a torch and olive branch, alongside the inscriptions “LIBERTY” and “2016.”
The reverse of the 2016-W 1/4 oz Proof Gold Eagle Coin depicts a male Bald Eagle carrying an olive branch to his nest, where a female eagle and hatchlings await. This design includes the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “1/4 OZ FINE GOLD – 10 DOLLARS,” and the West Point Mint’s “W” mark.
