The $50 American Gold Eagle was authorized by the Gold Bullion Act of 1985 and first distributed in 1986. The 1 troy ounce American Gold Eagle bullion coin carries a rendition of Augustus St. Gaudens beautiful Lady Liberty on the obverse. The reverse, designed by Miley Busiek, depicts an Eagle flying above its nest. From 1986 through 1991 dates are shown by Roman numerals but was changed to Arabic numbers in 1992.
An American Gold Eagles value is about the same as the market value of their gold content, not the face value of the coin. Actual sold prices vary daily dependent upon the current spot price of gold. American Gold Eagles are allowed by law to fund IRAs. A proof version is produced for coin collectors by the US Mint at West Point and carries the "W" mint mark underneath the date.
