The 2021-W 1/10 oz Proof Gold Eagle Type 2 PF-70 UCAM NGC is a premium certified collector coin issued by the United States Mint at West Point. Struck in .9167 fine (22-karat) gold, the coin contains 1/10 troy ounce of gold and carries a $5 USD legal tender face value guaranteed by the U.S. government.
This coin is graded PF-70 Ultra Cameo (UCAM) by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company), the highest possible proof grade. A PF-70 grade indicates a flawless coin with no visible imperfections under magnification, while the Ultra Cameo designation highlights the strong contrast between the coin’s mirror-like background and frosted design elements.
The obverse features the iconic Lady Liberty design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, depicting Liberty walking forward with a torch and olive branch, symbolizing enlightenment and peace.
The reverse showcases the new Type 2 bald eagle portrait designed by Jennie Norris, introduced in 2021 to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the American Gold Eagle series. This modern design replaced the long-running family of eagles reverse and provides a detailed close-up of America’s national bird.
Encapsulated in an official NGC protective holder, the 2021-W 1/10 oz Proof Gold Eagle Type 2 PF-70 UCAM combines perfect grading, historic design transition, and exceptional proof quality, making it a highly desirable addition for both gold investors and serious coin collectors.
