2021-W Type 2 Proof Gold Eagle 1/10 oz, NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo

This exceptional 2021-W Proof Gold Eagle represents one of the finest examples of the Type 2 reverse design. Struck at the West Point Mint and graded NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo (Certificate #887800), this one-tenth ounce gold proof has achieved the highest numerical grade possible, indicating flawless eye appeal and perfect strike characteristics.

The Type 2 reverse, introduced in 2021, features a redesigned eagle landing on a nest with an olive branch, a notable departure from the classic Type 1 design that had been in use since 1986. This First Day of Issue (FDI) designation confirms it was among the earliest coins released, making it particularly desirable to modern proof gold eagle collectors.

As a West Point Mint issue with perfect technical execution and the coveted Ultra Cameo designation—denoting deeply frosted devices contrasting sharply against mirror fields—this coin represents the pinnacle of modern American proof coinage. The 1/10 oz denomination offers an accessible entry point for gold eagle collectors while maintaining the prestige and purity of the official U.S. Mint product.
