Description
# 1997 $10 Quarter-Ounce Gold Eagle PCGS MS70. An exceptional gem specimen of the quintessential modern American gold coinage, this 1997 $10 Quarter-Ounce Gold Eagle represents the pinnacle of numismatic perfection. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin embodies the pinnacle of American gold coin design, featuring the legendary Augustus Saint-Gaudens inspired obverse and the contemporary reverse by Miley Busiek. Graded a flawless PCGS MS70, this coin represents the absolute zenith of strike quality and preservation. With a remarkably low population of only 109 coins at this grade level, this specimen is a true numismatic treasure. The coin's technical specifications are impeccable: composed of 91.67% gold, weighing 8.48 grams, and displaying the classic reeded edge characteristic of high-quality gold issues. The 1997 mintage of 108,805 pieces makes this a moderately scarce issue, and its perfect preservation elevates its collectibility and investment potential. Every detail of Saint-Gaudens' iconic design remains crisp and lustrous, showcasing the exceptional minting quality of late 20th-century American gold coinage. A premium quality example that will undoubtedly be a centerpiece in any serious numismatic collection. Certification Details: - *PCGS MS70*. - Certificate #43842377. - Population: 109 in MS70
