Value of 1997 Fifty Dollar Gold Coin
The 1997 $50 gold coin is basically just a bullion product. All that means is that the value of the coin will be different depending on the current market value of gold. This is a one ounce coin. So it is worth what one ounce of gold is worth. Collectors refer to these as AGE or American Gold Eagles. The United States Mint markets these coins every year. The only difference is the year on the coin; the style of the coin looks exactly the same year to year. It doesn’t matter if the coin was issued in 1997, 2007, or any other year – you will always see the same features.
The 1997 one ounce coin has text that reads: 1997 – Liberty – United States of America – E Pluribus Unum – In God We Trust – 1 OZ. Fine Gold ~ 50 Dollars – MB JW. The back or reverse of the coin pictures a flying eagle. The front or obverse of the coin has a woman (Lady Liberty) holding a branch.
