Although the bullion coin was struck in all four weights ( 1 oz, oz, oz, and 1/10 oz ) in 1986, the 1 oz Proof American Gold Eagle was the only weight hit in the proof mintage that year. That makes the 1 oz coin the longest-running mintage in the proof series. The oz validation mint was added in 1987, with the oz and 1/10 oz coins added in 1988. Since 1988, proof American Gold Eagles have been struck in all four weights each class except 2009 when no proof coins were struck.
