Sales Open For 2018 American Eagle Gold Proof Coins On March 1

US Mint - The United States Mint (Mint) will begin accepting orders for 2018 American Eagle Gold Proof Coins on March 1 at noon Eastern Time (ET).



The American Eagle Gold Proof Coins are the collector versions of the Mint's American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins. Launched in 1986, these 22-karat gold coins display the "W" mint mark of the West Point Mint where they are produced. The coins' obverse (heads) design features a version of Augustus Saint-Gaudens' full-length figure of Liberty with flowing hair, holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. The reverse design (tails), by sculptor Miley Busiek, features a male eagle carrying an olive branch while flying above a nest containing a female eagle and eaglets.

Highlights of this year's coin release include new packaging and the implementation of product and household order limits.

New Packaging
