The 1990-P 1/10 oz Proof American Gold Eagle PR-70 DCAM PCGS is a premium 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-70 Deep Cameo (DCAM) by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), the highest possible proof grade. A PR-70 coin is considered perfect, showing no visible imperfections even under magnification. The Deep Cameo (DCAM) designation indicates a strong contrast between the deeply mirrored background and the frosted design elements.
A notable feature of this early American Gold Eagle issue is the Roman numeral date “MCMXC”, representing the year 1990, which was used on Gold Eagles from 1986 to 1991 before the design changed to standard 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, representing American strength, unity, and heritage.
With its perfect PR-70 DCAM grade, exceptional proof finish, and trusted PCGS certification, the 1990-P 1/10 oz Proof American Gold Eagle is a highly desirable coin for collectors and investors seeking top-quality certified gold coins.
