Issued to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II, the 2020-W $50 Gold Eagle features the first-ever privy mark on a U.S. Gold Eagle. The "V75" privy mark, shaped like the Rainbow Pool at the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., symbolizes "Victory" and "75 years." With a mintage of only 1,945 coins—reflecting the year 1945—this release stands as the lowest mintage in the Gold Eagle series from 1986 to 2021.
Obverse: Features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic depiction of Lady Liberty striding forward with a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. The "V75" privy mark is prominently placed to the right of Liberty, marking this coin's unique status in the series.
Reverse: Displays Miley Busiek’s “Family of Eagles” design, representing the strength and unity of American families. This design was retired in 2021, making the 2020 issue the final year of its use.
Condition & Rarity: Graded NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo, this coin exhibits flawless surfaces with deep, mirror-like fields and frosted devices. Its "First Day of Issue" designation further enhances its desirability among collectors. Given its limited mintage and historical significance, this coin is a standout piece in modern American numismatics.
One of 1945 Struck First Day of Issue. This is an exquisite Ultra Cameo Proof with flawless surfaces, vivid golden patina, and sharp field to device contrast. The privy mark is crisply executed and readily evident in the right obverse field. To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Allied Victory in World War Two with the defeat of Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan in 1945, the United States Mint issued 1,945 examples of the Proof 2020-W one-ounce gold eagle with a special V75 privy mark. This is a beautiful example of this special commemorative issue that will appeal to both modern U.S. Mint coinage specialists and World War Two enthusiasts.
