Own a Perfectly Preserved 1988 American Gold Eagle
Only 98,028 $10 (¼ oz) Gold Eagles were minted in 1988, and less than 3% have received the elusive PF70 grade. The coin bears the prestigious “P” mint mark, signifying that it was produced by the Philadelphia Mint, the nation’s first and oldest mint.
Proof coins are especially desirable among collectors seeking pieces with exceptional eye appeal. They undergo a painstaking minting process to create sculpted, frosted imagery with a mirrored background.
The coin’s obverse features a modified version of Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ “Lady Liberty” design. The reverse was designed by Miley Busiek (now Miley Frost) and depicts a male bald eagle carrying an olive branch to a female eagle and two eaglets in a nest.
