American Gold Eagle coins are symbols of American pride and majesty in any precious metals collection. On one side is the image of Lady Liberty, inspired by the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor. On the other side, the American bald eagle, which has served as the national emblem for the country since 1792. Today you can own an American Gold Eagle coin with the purchase of a 1988-W 1 oz American Gold Eagle from JM Bullion.

Coin Highlights:

  • 3rd annual striking of American Gold Eagle proofs.
  • Ships in a protective plastic slab.
  • Contains a true gold weight of 1 oz of pure gold.
  • Bears a face value of $50 (USD) backed by the federal government.
  • Graded a perfect PR70 by the Professional Coin Grading Service.
  • Available with a Deep-cameo finish.
  • Features the “W” mint mark from the West Point Mint.

All 1988 1 oz American Gold Eagle proofs in this product listing are considered perfect specimens by the PCGS. These PR70 coins have their full, original mint luster, and no detracting flaws.

As deep-cameo proofs, each design set has a strong, frosted finish. This is contrasted by the deeply-mirrored, clear background field. This combination gives the illusion of the design floating above the background.

The American Gold Eagle bears one of the most iconic American coin designs of all time on the obverse face. Augustus Saint-Gaudens was an Irish-American artist and sculptor who had already made a name for himself in American art circles. In 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt hand-picked Saint-Gaudens to lead the charge in redesigning American gold coinage.

Saint-Gaudens’ design featured a modern (20th century) image of Lady Liberty striding forward as the nation’s guiding light. His creation showed Liberty in a flowing robe with her hair down, free to blow in the wind. With her torch held aloft in her right hand, she marched out of the national capital of Washington DC to lead the nation toward a brighter future.

On the obverse of each American Gold Eagle coin is Saint-Gaudens’ creation. The reverse of all coins in the series feature the image of a family of nesting bald eagles, which was created by Miley Busiek in 1986 for exclusive use on the American Gold Eagle series.

We recommend you refuse any shipment that appears to be damaged or tampered with as the shipping insurance ends once signed for and/or delivered. When refused, the package(s) will return to JM Bullion for inspection.

  2. Holding period after cleared payment.
    • Depending on your payment method, we will hold the order once payment is received and cleared. The hold periods by payment method are listed in checkout and in your confirmation email. Paper checks take the longest and are held up to five business days after payment clears.
  3. Shipping method and transit time.
    • UPS 3-Day Air is the fastest and most reliable method of shipping. These are usually delivered in 1-3 business days once in transit.
    • USPS is less consistent in both transit time and tracking accuracy.

All packages shipped by JM Bullion are covered by insurance subject to certain conditions. In the unlikely event that your order is Lost in Transit, you need to contact us immediately. Lost in Transit is defined for the USPS as tracking not having updated in 5 or more calendar days. For UPS, it is 3 calendar days. You must contact us within 7 days since last tracking for USPS and 3 days since last tracking for UPS. If you do not contact us by these timeframes, insurance will not cover the package.

Once you contact us, we research the shipment with the carrier and begin the claim process. The claims process can take 30 or more days to resolve, and many Lost in Transit shipments end up getting delivered late. If the package is delivered, you must notify us within 24 hours.
