Description
The 2012 (W) Proof Star-Spangled Banner Commemorative Five Dollar Gold is a proof dollar struck at the West Point Mint, part of the Modern Commemorative Five Dollar Gold (1984-Date) series. With a mintage of 18,313, this is a scarce issue — the higher-mintage of the two mint variants, representing 72% of production. The obverse features designs varying by commemorative issue and the reverse displays designs varying by commemorative issue. A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. As a proof issue, this coin was struck multiple times on specially prepared polished planchets using polished dies, producing mirror-like fields and frosted design elements prized by collectors. Struck at the West Point Mint, originally a bullion depository that became a full coin production facility, specializing in commemorative and bullion issues. Auction record: $690 PR70 04-30-2014 eBay. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 8.36 grams, 21.6 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #511548.
