Product Details

Step into the world of numismatic brilliance with a half-ounce wonder from 1996, an exquisite piece that holds the refinement and prestige of high-grade U.S. Mint craftsmanship. As one of the nation’s most cherished annual releases, these gold coins showcase both history and investment allure, appealing to collectors and savvy investors alike. Every detail, captured in near perfection with an NGC MS69 grade, offers a glimpse into the artistry and assurance that accompanies such a valued gold treasure.

This particular edition, struck in 1996, carries both the weight and history of American pride. Gold American Eagles are celebrated for their design, which reflects iconic moments from America’s storied past. On the obverse, Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ timeless depiction of Lady Liberty strides forward, torch aloft in one hand and an olive branch in the other, embodying hope and peace. The reverse features the powerful imagery of a family of eagles, a creation of sculptor Miley Busiek that symbolizes familial strength and unity. Such designs elevate this gold piece beyond financial investment, rooting it deeply in cultural significance.

  • Half-ounce weight, ensuring significant value with manageable size.
  • NGC MS69 Certification attesting to its near-perfect condition.
  • Captivating designs by Augustus Saint-Gaudens and Miley Busiek.
  • Historical year of minting: 1996, marking a noteworthy period in U.S. minting history.

Meticulously crafted from .9167 pure gold, each coin is a testament to the high standards set by the U.S. Mint. Its purity ensures both beauty and investment-grade assurance, appealing to those who value long-term asset preservation as well as collectors interested in limited mintages. The minting process preserves every intricate detail, from the high relief engravings to the smallest inscriptions, showcasing the artisan quality and detailed craftsmanship that distinguishes each piece.

The 1996 half-ounce Gold Eagle stands as a beacon of U.S. history and American tradition, a reminder of the mint's enduring legacy in producing fine bullion. It positions itself firmly in the market for both serious investors seeking hedges against market fluctuations and collectors yearning for pieces with historical resonance. Gold, among other precious metals, has long been recognized for its stability and tangible value, making this coin not only a collector’s dream but also a pillar in an investment portfolio.

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).

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
