This particular piece features a design by renowned artists Augustus Saint Gaudens and Miley Busiek. Crafted from a composition of 91.67% gold, 3% silver, and 5.33% copper, the coin showcases a weight of 3.39 grams and a diameter of 16.5 millimeters, with a reeded edge typical of American coinage. The 2004 Gold Eagle boasts a mintage of 250,016 units, indicating a moderate production level for collectors.
