The Proof American Gold Eagle Coin offers a collectible option within the popular Gold Eagle series. Produced in smaller quantities than the regular BU Gold Eagles, Proof versions appeal to collectors looking for something special. In the mid-2010s, more buyers turned to BU Gold Eagles, which led to lower mintages for Proof coins. Today, 2011-W 1/10 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coins are available through BGASC.

The obverse of the 2011-W Proof American Gold Eagle uses Augustus Saint-Gaudens well-known image of Lady Liberty. She steps forward with a torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other, surrounded by stars and rays of light.

Reverse

On the reverse of the 2011-W 1/10 oz Proof Gold Eagle Coin, you will find Miley Busieks family of bald eagles. A male eagle flies overhead while the female rests in the nest with her young, creating a design full of strength and family symbolism.

History

From 1986 until 2021, the American Gold Eagle series featured a reverse design by Miley Busiek. This design, created just for the Gold Eagle series, shows a family of bald eagles and represents unity, protection, and tradition.
