Product Details

Embark on a journey through American numismatic artistry with a half-ounce gold piece from 1987. The Gold American Eagle series represents a hallmark of U.S. coinage, epitomizing both cherished tradition and investment value. This particular coin, graded nearly perfect at MS69 by NGC, stands out not only for its quality but also for its embodiment of the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985, which reintroduced gold coinage to an eager public.

Featuring an exquisite design by sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the obverse of the 1987 1/2 oz Gold Eagle is adorned with Lady Liberty, striding confidently forward, a beacon of prosperity. She holds an olive branch, symbolizing peace, and a torch, representing enlightenment. The reverse design, crafted by renowned numismatist Miley Busiek, showcases a family of bald eagles—an apt representation of America’s endurance and freedom.

  • Half-ounce weight balances affordability with precious metal investment
  • Pristine grading by NGC ensures near-perfect coin quality
  • Iconic design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens and Miley Busiek

My overall experience has been excellent. Great communication from the start. They let you know the status of your order in a timely manner. Quick shipment after payment clears. Excellent packaging. The fact that Bullion Standard sends a link to confirm whether I've received my product is also remarkable. You can tell they care about the customer, and are trustworthy and reliable, 10/10, would shop again (already have).

Ordered a variety of different products and found the vintage pieces to be of exceptional quality and as advertised. Everything was mailed discreetly, well packaged, and arrived in no time. I've bought from all the big vendors and find Bullion Standard to be the best value. We'll keep coming back!

I always buy from momentum metals and jam bullion but decided to give you a chance. The coins were sub par and the gold coin was not to my liking
