The story behind 1987 2-Coin Proof Gold Eagle Set – Box & COA
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. This date falls in the original family-of-eagles reverse era.
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
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.
Should I compare this with a single coin?
Compare the full set and its stated contents. A price for one component does not represent the complete set or its presentation.
