Proof Gold American Eagle mintage is set by the US Mint based upon demand in the marketplace. Rather than setting a strict mintage level, the coins are produced as demand ebbs and flows. The 2001 production year saw one of the lowest mintages in the program’s history, and a perfect condition 2001 proof is the hardest 1 oz Proof Gold American Eagle to find.
Each of the 2001-W 1 oz Proof Gold American Eagle coins in this listing earned a PR70 grade from the PCGS. Perfect proofs have their full, original luster, and no hairlines, contact marks, or blemishes of any kind. Deep-cameo coins have strong, frosted finishes on the design set, and a deeply-mirrored, clear background field.
On the obverse you’ll see Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic Lady Liberty image. His creation is representative of the nation’s confidence as it marches toward a brighter future. Liberty guides the way with a torch in her left hand, and carries an olive branch in her left as a sign of the country’s desire for peace.
The reverse side features Miley Busiek’s depiction of the bald eagle. Designed specifically for the Gold American Eagle, her creation includes a male bald eagle, female bald eagle, and a nest full of hatchlings.
