The Deep-cameo, DCAM, designation is reserved for proof coins with stunning contrast in visual fields. The strong, frosted matte finish of the design elements contrasts beautifully with the deeply-mirrored, clear background field. Additionally, each has a First Strike label in the slab. This indicates the coins arrived at the PCGS or an approved depository from the United States Mint within the first 30 days of the 2018 issue date.
On the obverse of the 2018 ¼ oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coin is Saint-Guadens’ depiction of Liberty. She is shown here walking toward you as you view the coin, her torch held high in her right hand as a guiding light for a young nation emerging on the international stage in the early 20th century. Created in 1907, it originally appeared on the $20 Gold Double Eagle circulation coin until 1933.
The reverse of the Proof American Gold Eagle Coin bears a design that is exclusive to the Gold Eagle Series. Created in 1986 by Miley Busiek, this design captures the image of a male eagle in flight over the nest where a female eagle is keeping a watchful eye out for predators that could harm the group of hatchlings within.
