The term \"un-circulated\" refers to the specialized minting process used to create these coins. Although they are similar in appearance to American Eagle Bullion Coins, these new un-circulated coins are distinguished by the presence of a mint mark, indicating their production facility, and by the use of burnished coin blanks, which are hand-fed into specially-adapted coining presses one at a time. Each American Eagle Un-circulated Coin is carefully inspected before it is encapsulated in plastic, protecting its pristine finish.This quality (GRADE) rating is determined on the Sheldon scale, on which points are deducted from 70 for each flaw or imperfection on a coin\'s surface. A 70 is thus the highest grade a coin can achieve, with no flaws visible to the unaided eye. All American Eagle Gold Coins are legal-tender and contain 91.67% (22ct) gold. The gold weight and diameter will vary with each coin denomination, as specified below. Each coin is backed by the U.S. Government for weight and content. Coin Features:Obverse: A rendition of Augustus Saint-Gaudens\' full length figure of Lady Liberty with flowing hair, holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left hand.Reverse: The reverse design, by sculptor Miley Busiek, features a male eagle carrying an olive branch flying above a nest containing a female eagle and her hatchlings.
