The 2001-W 1/10 oz Proof American Gold Eagle is a collectible proof coin produced by the United States Mint at the West Point Mint, indicated by the “W” mint mark. This coin contains 1/10 troy ounce of gold and is struck in 22-karat gold (91.67% gold, with silver and copper added for strength and durability).
Proof coins are specially minted using polished dies and specially prepared planchets, resulting in a stunning mirror-like background with frosted design details. This creates a sharp contrast that highlights the coin’s intricate artwork.
The obverse features the famous Lady Liberty design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, holding a torch and olive branch, symbolizing freedom and peace. The reverse displays a family of bald eagles, representing strength, unity, and American pride.
This coin comes with the original U.S. Mint presentation box and Certificate of Authenticity (COA), confirming its authenticity and original packaging. Because of its limited proof mintage, exceptional finish, and official packaging, the 2001-W 1/10 oz Proof American Gold Eagle is an excellent addition to any precious metals collection.
