The 1986 ( MCMLXXXVI ) was the first year of issue in the Gold American Eagle Series. The Lady Liberty design has been used as a symbol of patriotism since the US began minting their own currency and her message of courage and power still reigns true. Dressed in a light robe, Lady Liberty is depicted as a warrior, with only a torch and an olive branch as her weapons. The word, \"Liberty,\" is written above her head, and 50 small stars encircle the coin's rim. The reverse displays the American Bald Eagle, making a nest with olive branches. There isn't a more deserving coin that perfectly encapsulates the American spirit!

\n\n

The design, used for the American Gold Eagle, was created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens in 1907 and repurposed in 1986 for the gold eagle. The American Gold Eagle coin program rivals other popular gold coin series worldwide. Each coin is guaranteed by the US Mint and Treasury for it's weight and authenticity. The coins typically carry higher premiums than gold bars but they also consistently maintain higher resale value when liquidating precious metals. Although some dates and sizes can be slightly more valuable, in general one ounce gold eagles simply track the price of gold in terms of value.

The US Mint forwent minting a 1975 Eisenhower and instead, used that year to produce millions of the bicentennial Eisenhower dollars. The first batch, of 1976 Eisenhower dollars, are referred to as Type 1. The main difference between the Type I and Type II Eisenhower dollars is the lettering on the reverse. The Type I Eisenhower exhibits bold, block lettering on the reverse, wherein the Type II Eisenhower has a more elegant font. Both Type dollars contain the special bicentennial design of the Liberty Bell superimposed against the moon. The 1976 Type I Eisenhower was the earlier bicentennial dollar minted, most like in 1975 but carries the 1976 date. In pristine brilliant uncirculated condition, the 1976 Type I Eisenhower sparkles while celebrating the bicentennial year!
