The 1987 1 oz American Gold Eagle MS-69 NGC is an early issue from the American Gold Eagle series, struck by the United States Mint. Introduced in 1986, the series quickly became the official gold bullion program of the United States.
Each coin contains 1 full troy ounce of gold and is minted in durable 22-karat (.9167 fine) gold, alloyed with copper and silver for added strength while maintaining full precious metal content.
Graded Mint State-69 (MS-69) by the Numismatic Guaranty Company, this coin is considered near-perfect, displaying sharp strike detail, vibrant mint luster, and only minor imperfections not visible to the naked eye.
The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic Lady Liberty design, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful designs in American coinage. The reverse showcases the original family-of-eagles design by Miley Busiek, symbolizing strength and unity.
As the official gold bullion coin of the United States, the American Gold Eagle carries a $50 face value, is backed by the U.S. government for weight and purity, and is IRA-eligible.
