Only a 1 oz Proof Gold Eagle was offered that first year. The Mint added the 1/2 oz Proof in 1987, and the smaller Proof coins in 1988. For the 20th anniversary in 2006, a Burnished Gold Eagle and this limited Reverse Proof Gold Eagle were introduced. **Ordering** If you have any questions about these coins, please contact us.
