The 2010-W 1/2 oz Proof American Gold Eagle (w/Box & COA) is a beautifully crafted proof gold coin issued by the United States Mint and produced at the West Point Mint, identified by the “W” mint mark.
Each coin contains ½ troy ounce of gold and is minted in 22-karat (.9167 fine) gold, alloyed with copper and silver to enhance durability while maintaining full precious metal content.
Proof coins are produced using specially polished dies and carefully prepared planchets, creating deep mirror-like fields and frosted design elements that deliver strong cameo contrast and exceptional detail.
The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic Lady Liberty design, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful designs in American coinage. Liberty is depicted holding a torch and olive branch with the U.S. Capitol building in the background.
The reverse displays the classic American Gold Eagle family of eagles design by Miley Busiek, portraying a male eagle carrying an olive branch flying toward a nest with a female eagle and hatchlings, symbolizing strength, unity, and family.
Each coin carries a $25 face value and is fully backed by the United States government for its gold content, weight, and purity.
This coin comes with the original U.S. Mint presentation box and Certificate of Authenticity (COA), making it ideal for collectors and presentation purposes.
