The 2000-W 1/10 oz Proof American Gold Eagle PF-70 NGC is a premium collectible coin struck by the United States Mint at the West Point Mint, indicated by the “W” mint mark. The coin contains 1/10 troy ounce of gold and is composed of 22-karat gold (91.67% gold with small amounts of copper and silver for durability).
This coin is graded PF-70 (Proof 70) by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC), the highest possible grade on the Sheldon scale. A PF-70 coin is considered perfect, showing no visible imperfections even under magnification. Proof coins are struck using specially polished dies and planchets, producing deep mirror-like fields and frosted design elements that create a striking cameo contrast.
The obverse features the famous Lady Liberty design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, holding a torch and olive branch, symbolizing freedom and enlightenment. The reverse depicts a family of bald eagles, designed by Miley Busiek, representing strength, unity, and American heritage.
With its perfect PF-70 grade, trusted NGC certification, and exceptional proof finish, the 2000-W 1/10 oz Proof American Gold Eagle is a highly desirable piece for both collectors and precious metals investors.
