Product ID: BST-001500D8C5

Product Details

Nurturing both the spirit of collectors and the keen eye of investors, this 2008 West Point struck quarter ounce burnished gold American Eagle stands as a testament to exquisite craftsmanship and American heritage. Featuring the internationally revered design of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, this piece emanates the brilliance of Lady Liberty, cloaked in a flowing gown, holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. This depiction, paired with the symbolism of freedom and peace, offers a connection to history that transcends its physical form. These coins, given their burnished finish, exude a unique matte texture complemented by a satin sheen, setting them apart from their uncirculated or proof counterparts. This specific offering does not include a box and Certificate of Authenticity, but the standalone quality of the coin itself is undisputed.

  • Quarter ounce of .9167 pure gold offering superior investment value.
  • Beautiful burnished finish enhancing its collectible aesthetics.
  • Iconic Saint-Gaudens design revered worldwide for its historical and artistic significance.
  • Minted at the esteemed U.S. Mint at West Point, known for impeccable quality.

The artistry behind the American Eagle series is second to none, with Lady Liberty gracing the obverse amid an array of sun rays, symbolizing hope and prosperity. The intricate reverse design by Miley Busiek, with a male bald eagle in flight carrying an olive branch to a nest of his family, reflects themes of unity and strength. This particular burnished gold piece, different from the standard bullion, receives a textured finish, creating a finer, softer aesthetic that appeals to both touch and sight. Its .9167 fine gold composition ensures both the richness of color and the robustness for longevity and resale potential in a varied market.

The West Point Mint, renowned for creating coins that define elegance, crafts these burnished gold coins with exceptional care, guaranteeing their place in any high-caliber investment portfolio. With an intrinsic value backed by gold's long-standing market position, this coin stands as a true embodiment of precious metal investment. As such, it invites serious investors to consider its potential as a hedge against economic fluctuations.

Whether for its collectibility or as a substantial addition to an investment portfolio, this gold piece is an appealing acquisition. While lacking its original packaging, its allure remains in its historical design and expert minting. Gold's historical significance as a store of value offers additional assurance for investors seeking long-term stability.

Bullion Standard out of all the companies I researched offer the best spots and prices. My only complaint is I wish I had found this company a long time ago as it would have saved me a lot of money. They offer a wide selection for all your bullion needs. Items are packed with great care and shipping is fast. I highly recommend Bullion Standard for all your bullion needs and quit getting ripped offer by the " big guys" . I also recommend enrollment in Pro for the awesome extra savings on your purchases.

I am a great fan of Bullion Standard and have highly recommend this company for the spots and prices of all items. All items were well packed and shipping was quick. I had one issue with processing a purchase online and have been helped by customer service. Another time I paid the higher price since purchase was after hours...my lack of patience sometimes. All items I have purchased had the best prices out of dozens of companies I researched. I could not be more pleased even with a couple of bumps along the road. The quality, quantity and selection is great though if I had one request is that you offered 5 oz silver bars!!
