The 2021-W 1/10 oz Proof Gold Eagle (Type 1) PF-70 NGC (Everhart) is a premium certified collector coin issued by the United States Mint at West Point. Struck from .9167 fine (22-karat) gold, the coin contains 1/10 troy ounce of gold and carries a $5 USD legal tender face value backed by the U.S. government.
This coin is graded PF-70 by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company), the highest possible proof grade, indicating a perfect coin with flawless surfaces and exceptional strike quality. The coin is encapsulated in a secure NGC holder with the Thomas Cleveland Everhart signature label, adding additional collectible appeal. Everhart served as the 12th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, making his signed label especially attractive to collectors.
The obverse features the iconic Lady Liberty design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, depicting Liberty walking forward with a torch and olive branch as symbols of freedom and peace.
The reverse displays the classic Type 1 eagle family design by Miley Busiek, showing a male bald eagle carrying an olive branch flying above a nest with a female eagle and hatchlings. 2021 marked the final year of this historic reverse design, before the introduction of the new Type 2 eagle design later in the year.
With its perfect PF-70 grade, historic final Type 1 reverse, and special Everhart signature label, the 2021-W 1/10 oz Proof Gold Eagle PF-70 NGC is an outstanding piece for both gold investors and serious numismatic collectors.
