The story behind 1/4 oz Proof Gold Eagle – Box/COA (Date Varies)
The modern American Gold Eagle program began in 1986. Its Liberty design reaches back to Augustus Saint-Gaudens’s 1907 double eagle, carrying a classic American image into modern bullion coinage.
What distinguishes this offering
The proof finish is a collecting distinction. It should be compared with the same issue in proof, with matching packaging, rather than with a bullion version selected only for metal weight.

Frequently asked questions
Can I select the date or design shown?
This listing allows the date or design to vary with inventory. A pictured example does not reserve that exact issue. Choose a specifically dated or named-design listing if you are filling a particular gap in a collection.
What presentation materials are included?
The product title specifies a box and Certificate of Authenticity. Retain them with the coin. A complete presentation should be compared with other complete examples, rather than with a loose coin.
Is proof the same as a perfect grade?
No. Proof describes a method of manufacture and finish. A numerical grade, when explicitly supplied, is a separate assessment of condition.
Historical or series background: U.S. Mint archive. This reference describes the background; the supplied condition and packaging are specific to this listing.
