The 2010-W 1 oz Proof American Gold Eagle PR-70 DCAM PCGS is a premium collector issue struck at the West Point facility of the United States Mint. The “W” mint mark confirms its West Point origin.
This proof coin contains 1 full troy ounce of gold and is minted in durable 22-karat (.9167 fine) gold, alloyed with copper and silver for enhanced strength while maintaining full precious metal content
As a Proof issue, it was struck using specially polished dies and planchets, producing deeply mirrored fields contrasted with frosted design elements. The Deep Cameo (DCAM) designation from the Professional Coin Grading Service indicates strong contrast between the frosted devices and reflective background.
