Description

The 2007 (P) American Eagle Five Dollar Gold is a Gold Eagle minted at the Philadelphia Mint, within the American Eagle Five Dollar Gold 1986 to Date series. The U.S. Mint produced 190,010 examples, making this the highest mintage among 3 variants, accounting for 70% of the year's production. The obverse features Liberty striding forward holding a torch and olive branch, with rays of sunlight behind her — widely considered the most beautiful U.S. coin design — adapted from the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle and the reverse displays a family of eagles — an adult and two juveniles — in a nest, designed by Miley Busiek (1986-2020) or an eagle portrait by Jennie Norris, the redesigned reverse introduced in 2021 (2021+). A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. Coined at the Philadelphia facility, the nation's original mint that has operated continuously since its 1792 founding. Auction record: $2,530 MS70 06-05-2007 Heritage Auctions. Struck in 91.67% gold, 3% silver, 5.33% copper, weighing 3.39 grams, 16.5 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #146909.
