The American Gold Eagle is produced on an annual basis by the United States Mint in a total of three versions: bullion, proof, and uncirculated. The Proof American Gold Eagle is coveted for its unique coining process, and the resulting visual brilliance of the coin.
Proof coins are struck using polished dies and extremely high pressure levels. The result of this process is a coin with sharper rims and designs, as well as smoother fields that create a brilliant contrast between design sets and background fields.
Each of the 2010-W ½ oz Proof American Gold Eagles in this product listing has a PR70 grade from the PCGS, meaning that each has its full, original luster and no detracting marks. Deep-cameo coins feature strong, frosted designs and a contrasting background field that is deeply mirrored and clear.
These coins are particularly unique among the collection of Proof American Gold Eagles. The US Mint halted production of these coins in 2009, making these the first coins available following the production hiatus.
On the obverse side is Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic image of Lady Liberty. Depicted as a guiding light for the nation, his version first appeared in 1907 on the $20 Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle. Sculptor Miley Busiek’s depiction of a family of bald eagles is found exclusively on the reverse of American Gold Eagle coins.
