History

The Proof Gold Eagles were introduced in stages by the United States Mint. The 1 oz coin was released first in 1986, followed by the 1/2 oz coin in 1987. The 1/4 oz and 1/10 oz coins completed the series in 1988. Each fractional coin carries a proportional face value, with the 1/4 oz coin designated a $10 (USD) denomination.
