2024 United States Mint American Eagle Gold Proof Coins on Sale May 2
April 25 2024 - 2:35PM
The United States Mint (Mint) announces the opening of sales for
the 2024 American Eagle Gold Proof Coins on May 2 at noon EDT.
Orders are limited to three items per product code per
household for the first 24 hours from the on-sale date and time.
Struck in 22-karat gold at the United States Mint facility at
West Point, these popular coins are collector versions of the
official United States Mint American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins.
In 2021, for the first time since their introduction more
than three decades before, the reverse (tails) of American Eagle
Gold Proof Coins debuted a newly designed portrayal of an eagle,
created by United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program Designer
Jennie Norris and sculpted by United States Mint Medallic Artist
Renata Gordon. Inscriptions are "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,"
"E PLURIBUS UNUM," and "IN GOD WE TRUST," along with the face value
and weight.
The coins’ obverse (heads) features 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. To render a
closer reflection of Saint-Gaudens’ original vision, legacy details
of the obverse design also were restored in 2021, including
modifications to the U.S. Capitol Building, stars, torch, sun rays,
and other design elements based on the original bronze cast.
In addition to redesigning the reverse and enhancing design
details on the obverse of these coins in 2021, the Mint introduced
anti-counterfeiting features that include a reeded edge variation
on the one ounce coin.
The 2024 American Eagle Gold Proof Coins will be available in
