Description
The 2026 (W) Proof American Eagle Five Dollar Gold is a proof Gold Eagle struck at the West Point Mint, part of the American Eagle Five Dollar Gold 1986 to Date series. The obverse features Liberty striding forward holding a torch and olive branch, with rays of sunlight behind her — widely considered the most beautiful U.S. coin design — adapted from the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle and the reverse displays a family of eagles — an adult and two juveniles — in a nest, designed by Miley Busiek (1986-2020) or an eagle portrait by Jennie Norris, the redesigned reverse introduced in 2021 (2021+). A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. As a proof issue, this coin was struck multiple times on specially prepared polished planchets using polished dies, producing mirror-like fields and frosted design elements prized by collectors. Estimated market value is approximately $11K. Struck in 22k gold (91.67% au, 3% ag, 5.33% cu), weighing 3.39 grams, 16.5 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge.
