The 1990-P 1/10 oz Proof American Gold Eagle PR-69 DCAM PCGS is a collectible proof coin issued by the United States Mint and struck at the Philadelphia Mint, identified by the “P” mint mark. The coin contains 1/10 troy ounce of gold and is struck in 22-karat gold (91.67% gold with small amounts of copper and silver added for durability).
This coin has been graded PR-69 Deep Cameo (DCAM) by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), indicating a nearly flawless proof coin with only extremely minor imperfections visible under magnification. The Deep Cameo designation refers to the strong contrast between the deeply mirrored background and the frosted design elements.
A notable feature of this early issue is the Roman numeral date “MCMXC”, representing the year 1990, which was used on American Gold Eagles from 1986 to 1991 before switching to Arabic numerals.
The obverse features the iconic Lady Liberty design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, holding a torch and olive branch with the U.S. Capitol building in the background. The reverse depicts a family of bald eagles, designed by Miley Busiek, symbolizing American strength, unity, and heritage.
With its high PR-69 DCAM grade, beautiful proof finish, and trusted PCGS certification, the 1990-P 1/10 oz Proof American Gold Eagle is a desirable addition to any numismatic collection or precious metals investment portfolio.
