The American Gold Eagle coin was introduced in bullion and proof in 1986. At first, the bullion program was the only one to feature fractional-weight coins. The proof was also introduced in 1986, but available only in 1 oz.
Fractional-weight proof coins were introduced in stages between 1987 and 1988, with the ½ oz added in 1987, and the ¼ oz and 1/10 oz coins added in 1988. The burnished version of the coin was introduced with all four weights, the ½ oz included, in 2006.
Each of the American Gold Eagles available for purchase on BWCS today is a ½ oz specimen containing 22-karat gold. The year of issue you receive depends upon availability at the time of fulfillment. The most common years are those struck in the early 1990s, those struck around the turn of the 21st century, and post-2009 issues.
