This coin is a stunning example of the 1998 $20 Gold Eagle, produced with the highest quality as a Proof coin. Minted at the West Point Mint in the United States, it showcases a rich history of American coinage. The coin is made of gold, weighing 3.39 grams and featuring a diameter of 16.5 millimeters. As part of the esteemed Gold Eagle series, this particular coin bears the "W" mint mark, indicating its origin from the West Point facility. With a mintage of only 39,395 pieces, it represents a relatively limited production run, which adds to its appeal among collectors. This coin features intricate designs typical of Proof issues, with a polished, mirror-like finish that enhances the detail of its imagery. The obverse typically depicts a rendition of Lady Liberty, radiating with the light of liberty, while the reverse features a majestic eagle, symbolizing strength and freedom. The 1998 Gold Eagle holds value not just in its precious metal content but also in its collectible nature, appealing to both numismatists and investors alike, especially in conditions reflecting its proof status. As legal tender, it has a face value of $20, but its market worth can significantly exceed this depending on its grade and demand among collectors.
