The United States Mint saw fewer collectors buying gold in its Proof American Gold Eagle collection in the late 1990s. Most of the decade was characterized by stable demand, but the late 1990s saw the proof series drop as gold prices fell and demand went down along with prices. The 1997 1/2 oz Proof American Gold Eagle is currently available to you for purchase online from JM Bullion with a perfect certification.

Coin Highlights:

  • Arrives inside of a protective plastic slab courtesy of the NGC!
  • 11th release of the 1/2 oz Proof Gold Eagle coin!
  • Limited availability within the original mintage of 26,344 coins!
  • Contains 1/2 Troy oz of actual gold content.
  • Issued a face value of $25 (USD) by the United States.
  • Bears a Grade of PF70 from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation.
  • UCAM specimen.
  • Lady Liberty is found on the obverse side of the coin.
  • American bald eagle featured on the reverse face of the coin.
  • “W” mint marks.

The 1997 1/2 oz Proof American Gold Eagle remains one of the lowest struck coins in the series to date. All of the 1997 coins fell as the series followed a downward trajectory through 1999. Although Proof Gold Eagles would rebound slightly in the early 2000s, the mintage figures for all four coins wouldn’t reach their highs from the early 1990s until the 20th-anniversary issue in 2006.

Among the lowest mintage figures for the 1/2 oz Proof American Gold Eagle, the 1997 coin has one of the 10 lowest. Only the coins from the 2010s have lower figures each year, and the 1997 issue had the lowest mintage of any release year from 1987 to date.

On the obverse of the 1997 1/2 oz Proof American Gold Eagle, you’ll find the effigy of Liberty. This beautiful design of Lady Liberty strikes a strong, confident depiction of the nation’s leading symbol of freedom. Liberty walks toward you as you view the coin holding a torch high in her right hand and an olive branch in her left hand.

The reverse of the 1997 1/2 oz Proof Gold Eagle depicts the image of Miley Busiek. She created this design in 1986 for the Gold Eagle collection, and it features the image of a male eagle flying over the family nest as a female keeps a careful watch over the hatchlings within.

All of 1997 1/2 oz Proof American Gold Eagles in this listing earned perfect PF70 certifications from the NGC. Coins in this condition have full, original mint luster and no detracting flaws. The UCAM label indicates the coins strong, frosted designs and deeply-mirrored, clear backgrounds.

When you will receive your order depends primarily on three factors

  1. When we receive your payment (checks and wires must be initiated/sent by you).
    • Please note that you will receive a Paid email once your payment is received.
  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.

See also Section 13 of our Terms and Conditions.

Though unlikely, if your order is damaged during transit and/or any items are missing we require you to contact JM Bullion immediately so we can begin the claims process. If you have taken possession of a shipment that is damaged and/or is missing items, you have 2 days (48 hours) from the date of delivery to contact us as stated in our Terms and Conditions.

Orders under $1000 will not require a signature unless that option is selected and paid for at checkout. Orders over $1000 will always require a signature for delivery. Please note, per our Terms and Conditions, once a package shows delivered, our responsibility ends. Please be available and attentive to receive the package when the courier arrives. Due to COVID 19, couriers are not always getting the signature.

Please note that JM Bullion will not be responsible for reimbursements or insurance claims on packages that are successfully delivered as addressed. Our liability and insurance cease the moment the package is signed for or left at the specified delivery address. Any issues or problems with a shipment MUST be reported to JM Bullion within two (2) calendar days of recorded delivery, else JM Bullion may deny any claim.

Unfortunately, due to the way insurance is applied to an order, everything must ship at the same time (i.e., in-stock items must await shipment until all presale items have arrived). Your order will ship in its entirety within 24-72 hours of our receiving the presale item. An email notification will be sent when your order ships.

We do not ship to US territories. Due to special requirements set by the postal systems, we are unable to ship outside of U.S. states.

All UPS & FedEx shipments ship with a No Will Call restriction, meaning the package cannot be picked up from a UPS or FedEx location or just left at the delivery address. This is a precaution to prevent orders from being fraudulently intercepted.
