2025 (W) American Eagle Fifty Dollar Gold

Coin Details

Description

The 2025 (W) American Eagle Fifty Dollar Gold is a Gold Eagle produced at the West Point Mint as part of the American Eagle Fifty Dollar Gold 1986 to Date series. With a mintage of 13,000, this is a scarce issue — the lower-mintage of the two mint variants. 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 1907 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle, the most revered U.S. coin design 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. Struck at the West Point Mint, originally a bullion depository that became a full coin production facility, specializing in commemorative and bullion issues. Estimated market value is approximately $5.0K. Struck in 91.67% gold, 3% silver, 5.33% copper, weighing 31.1 grams, 32.7 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #949688.
