1991 $50 1 oz Gold Eagle NGC MS70 Hand Signed Miles Standish Lady Liberty
Description:
This 1991 $50 American Gold Eagle is a stunning Mint State (MS) gold bullion coin, struck during the sixth year of production for the U.S. Mint’s iconic Gold Eagle series. Composed of one troy ounce of 22-karat gold (91.67% gold, 5.33% copper, 3% silver), this coin is a perfect combination of historical significance, precious metal value, and numismatic appeal.
The obverse showcases Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ timeless Lady Liberty, originally designed for the $20 Double Eagle (1907–1933). Liberty strides confidently forward, holding a torch and olive branch, with the U.S. Capitol building in the background and radiant sun rays behind her.
The reverse, designed by Miley Busiek, features a family of bald eagles, with a male eagle soaring above a nest where the female and hatchlings await. This powerful design was used on Type 1 Gold Eagles from 1986 to 2021, making it an enduring symbol of American heritage.
Graded MS70 by NGC, this coin is in flawless Mint State condition, with full mint luster and no visible imperfections. Additionally, it is hand-signed by Miles Standish, a renowned numismatist, former vice president of NGC, and co-author of several influential coin-collecting books. His signature adds exclusivity and collectible value to this already exceptional coin.
