{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}Experience the monumental 1988 1 oz American Gold Eagle Coin a game-changer that reshaped minting history upon its introduction in 1986. Prior to its debut, the US Mint predominantly produced .900 gold coins dating back to the 1830s. However, this revolutionary coin altered that course. Now, seize the chance to acquire the 1988 1 oz American Gold Eagle Coin, available for purchase at BGASC.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1988 1 oz American Gold Eagle Coin listed here maintains BU condition, exhibiting no signs of wear and tear. While minor flaws like breaks in luster, spotted surfaces, and coining process marks may be present, the coin retains its pristine quality. Each coin will arrive in a protective plastic flip.
Obverse
Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic Liberty graces the obverse, a design commissioned by President Theodore Roosevelt to redefine American gold coinage. Liberty strides boldly into an unknown future, capturing the essence of the era. Inscriptions read LIBERTY, and MCMLXXXVIII.
Reverse
On the reverse, the 1988 American Gold Eagle coins feature the familial scene of nesting bald eagles. Miley Busiek crafted this portrayal in 1986, depicting a female eagle vigilantly watching over hatchlings in a nest, while a male eagle carries an olive branch overhead. Inscriptions include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST, E PLURIBUS UNUM, 1 OZ FINE GOLD, and 50 DOLLARS.
History
The 1988 release of the American Gold Eagle one-ounce coin received a more subdued response from investors. Similar to many bullion and proof programs, subsequent years witnessed adjustments in production and demand after the initial fervor. Following an impressive debut in 1986, demand had decreased by 1988, partially due to the expanding variety of proof American Gold Eagles available.
