2013-W Proof Gold Eagle, 1/10 oz, Red Book

This exceptional 2013-W Proof Gold Eagle represents one of the finest examples of this modern bullion classic. The coin features the iconic obverse design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, depicting Lady Liberty in full stride, while the reverse showcases an eagle at rest designed by Miley Busiek. Struck at the West Point Mint facility, indicated by the "W" mintmark, this fractional ounce gold proof was produced for collectors seeking a smaller, more accessible entry into the prestigious American Eagle program.

Certified by NGC as Proof 70, this coin achieves the highest possible grade on the Numeric Scale, indicating perfect or near-perfect quality with no visible imperfections under magnification. The designation "Red Book" references the American Numismatic Association's official grading standard publication, a distinction that carries particular significance among serious collectors. At this elite grade level, the coin displays pristine mirror fields and fully struck, frosted devices characteristic of U.S. Mint proof coinage at its finest.

The 1/10 oz fractional gold eagles have become increasingly popular with modern collectors and investors, offering the prestige of U.S. Mint gold coinage in a more affordable denomination. This specimen's perfect Proof 70 grade and West Point provenance make it a standout example for the discerning collector. NGC Cert. #518207
