1992 Proof Gold American Eagle – 1 Troy Oz

1992 Proof American Gold Eagle

The 1992 Proof American Gold Eagle stands as a distinguished addition to the esteemed American Gold Eagle series, inaugurated in 1986 under the auspices of the United States Mint. Esteemed by collectors and investors alike, these coins are admired for their exquisite design and the assurance of gold content guaranteed by the U.S. government.

Coin Highlights:

• Year of Release: 1992.
• Mint: Produced by the United States Mint. While proof versions are typically crafted at the West Point Mint, older proofs may lack the “W” mint mark.
• Denominations: Available in 1 oz ($50), 1/2 oz ($25), 1/4 oz ($10), and 1/10 oz ($5).
• Purity and Weight: Struck with 22 karat gold (91.67% gold, with the remainder being a blend of silver and copper for durability). The gold weight corresponds to the denominational values (1 oz, 1/2 oz, etc.).
• Design: The obverse features the iconic full-length depiction of Lady Liberty by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, while the reverse, designed by Miley Busiek, depicts a male eagle soaring above a nest with a female eagle and hatchlings. Notably, the 1992 Proof version, unlike its counterparts from 1986 to 1991 which display the mintage year in Roman numerals, displays the year in Arabic numerals: 1992.
• Finish: Exhibiting proof quality, these coins undergo multiple strikes with meticulously prepared dies, resulting in a lustrous mirrored surface and finely detailed frosted imagery.
• Diameter: The 1 oz coin boasts a diameter of 32.7 mm, with smaller denominations varying in size (27 mm for 1/2 oz, 22 mm for 1/4 oz, and 16.5 mm for 1/10 oz).
• Thickness: Thickness varies by denomination, with the 1 oz coin typically measuring about 2.87 mm.
• Mintage: The proof mintages for 1992 were lower compared to bullion coins, making them more scarce and highly sought-after by collectors. For instance, the 1992 1 oz Proof American Gold Eagle had a mintage of 44,826.
• Packaging: Each coin is housed in a protective capsule within a luxurious satin-lined velvet presentation case, accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (COA).
