1998-W Proof Gold Eagle 1/10 oz, NGC PF 70

This exceptional 1998-W Proof Gold Eagle represents a premium example of the fractional gold eagle series produced at the West Point Mint. The coin exhibits the characteristic mirror fields and frosted design elements that define the proof finish, with each detail of John Mercanti's iconic eagle reverse and Augustus Saint-Gaudens' obverse rendered with superior striking quality.

Graded NGC PF 70, this specimen achieves the highest numerical grade, indicating virtually flawless surfaces with no distracting imperfections visible to the naked eye or under magnification. The pristine condition and brilliant proof finish make this an outstanding representative of late-1990s American gold coinage, particularly significant for collectors pursuing complete proof eagle sets or high-grade fractional gold holdings.

The 1/10 oz denomination, containing approximately 0.1091 troy ounces of pure gold, offers an accessible entry point into the prestigious American Eagle proof program while maintaining the numismatic appeal and collector demand of this renowned series. This example's exceptional grade and certification make it a desirable acquisition for both type collectors and specialists focused on modern U.S. proof coinage.
