Certified Burnished American $50 Gold Eagle 2011-W MS70 NGC

Inspired by the famous $20 Saint-Gaudens design, the American Gold Eagle features a design that is both unique and pays homage to some of the most popular coin designs in US history. When the $20 Saint-Gaudens was first designed, it offered a different depiction of Lady Liberty than what was usually pictured on the coins. The obverse features a fierce Lady Liberty, portrayed as a warrior. This revolutionary design, by the famous sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, has stuck on US bullion coins ever since. The reverse also reveals two large bald eagles, the kings of the birds of prey, making a cozy nest out of olive branches.
