Each of the 1989 1/10 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coins available to you here is shipped inside of a protective plastic slab from the NGC. The coins earned a PF70 certification from the NGC that indicates each individual coin exhibits full, original mint luster with no detracting flaws.
The Ultra-cameo, or UCAM, designation assigned to these Gold Eagles is reserved for proof coinage. The NGC issues the UCAM designation to coins with a strong, frosted design element and a deeply-mirrored, clear background field. The combined visual effects give the impression that the design is floating above the surface of the coin.
On the obverse side of the 1989 1/10 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coin, you’ll find the effigy of Liberty. This unique vision of Liberty was created in 1907 by Augustus Saint-Gaudens and showcased Liberty as she walks forward with confidence toward an unknown future with her torch as a guiding light for the nation.
The reverse of the 1989 Proof American Gold Eagle Coin features Miley Busiek’s depiction of American bald eagles. Created in 1986 specifically for the Gold Eagle collection, this image includes a group of hatchlings in the family nest as a female stands guard over the young eagles and a male eagle flies overhead.
All of the 1989 1/10 oz Proof American Gold Eagle coins feature date marks in Roman numerals on the obverse face, with a “P” mint mark from the Philadelphia Mint. Fractional-weight Proof American Gold Eagles were produced in Philadelphia until 1993 and struck at the West Point Mint from 1994 onward.
