The United States Mint introduced the American Eagle program in 1986 with diverse offerings. The Silver Eagle was available in bullion and proof versions, with just a 1 oz weight offered. The American Gold Eagle, on the other hand, featured four weights in the bullion program and a 1 oz proof coin, that eventually expanded to include all three fractional-weight coins in 1987 with the ½ oz and 1988 with the ¼ and 1/10 oz.
Each 2017-W 1/10 oz Proof American Gold Eagle coin here is a PR70 coin from the PCGS. Coins with this certification are considered perfect specimens and have full, original mint luster with no detracting flaws.
The DCAM, or deep-cameo, designation is for a proof coin with a special visual appeal. There is a deep contrast in the visualization of these coins between the strong, frosted matte finish of the design aspects of the coin and its deeply-mirrored, clear background field.
On the obverse design of all 2017 1/10 oz Proof American Gold Eagle coins is Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ depiction of Lady Liberty. First created in 1907, Saint-Gaudens’ Liberty appeared on the $20 Gold Double Eagle from 1908 to 1933, and is considered by most to be the most beautiful coin design in American history.
The reverse side of each Proof American Gold Eagle coin has Miley Busiek’s depiction of a family of bald eagles in its nest. Her image was created in 1986 and is used solely on the American Gold Eagle coin.
