In 2010, the Proof American Gold Eagle coins returned from a one-year hiatus as the United States Mint pushed all available gold blanks to the production of its gold bullion coinage. The 2010 collectible coins were in high demand by the time the mint issued them for purchase in October.
The US Mint set mintage caps for all of the Proof Gold Eagles in 2010, with separate individual caps and for the 4-Coin Proof American Gold Eagle Set. For the 1/10 oz Proof Gold Eagle, the US Mint established an individual cap of 27,000 coins and there were an additional 39,000 coins available as part of the 2010 4-Coin Proof Gold Eagle Set.
On the obverse side of 2010 1/10 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coins is the image of Lady Liberty. This vision of Liberty was revolutionary when it debuted in 1907. It brought a brand new sense of Americana to the design of US coinage. Augustus Saint-Gaudens created the design for the US Mint.
The reverse face of 2010 Proof American Gold Eagles bears a design from Miley Busiek. Exclusive to the American Gold Eagle coins, this image features a nest with a female watching over a hatchling while a male eagle flies overhead.
These 2010 1/10 oz Proof Gold Eagles earned PF70 certifications from the NGC. Coins in this condition have full, original mint luster and no detracting flaws. UCAM coins are ultra-cameo specimens with strong, frosted matte designs and deeply-mirrored, clear backgrounds.
