Gold American Eagle Proof Coins
The Official Gold Proof Coins of the United States


Proof Gold American Eagles undergo a special minting process that involves gold blanks being struck multiple times by special dies at the United States Mint. These special dies produce a beautiful mirror-like finish in which the images appear to float above the coin. In fact, Proof Gold American Eagle coins are minted to such exacting standards that they require special handling by white-gloved inspectors at the U.S. mint. They are easily one of the most attractive and sought-after gold coins in the world, and many consider them works of art struck in solid gold.

Only a limited number of proof coins are struck each year and certain years have been known to sell out soon after being issued. To truly understand the rarity and potential future value of the Gold American Eagles, consider that in an ordinary year like 2014, the U.S. Mint produced only 17,760 of the $25 version of the coin. Next, consider that of the 17,760, only 533 were graded in a flawless PF70 UC Early Release. This leaves thousands upon thousands of individuals seeking only 533 coins available on the market.

You also get a better feel for the Proof Gold American Eagles rarity when you compare the mintages of the Business Strike (or Mint-State MS) $25 Gold Eagles to the $25 Proof Gold Eagles from 2014. In 2014, the U.S. Mint struck 35,000 Business Strike (M.S.) $25 Gold Eagles, which is considered a "low-mintage" year for a Business Strike Gold Eagle, more than double the amount of the Proofs.



The scarcity of the Proof Gold American Eagles is a reason why, historically, the Proof Gold American Eagles appreciate faster and higher than the Mint-State versions.
