Description

# 1997 $10 Quarter-Ounce Gold Eagle PCGS MS70. A pristine exemplar of the American Gold Eagle series, this 1997 Quarter-Ounce Gold Eagle represents the pinnacle of numismatic preservation and excellence. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin showcases the iconic design legacy of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, beautifully interpreted through modern minting techniques. Graded a flawless PCGS MS70, this specimen is among the most elite examples of its vintage, with a remarkably low population of only 109 coins at this supreme grade level. The coin exhibits perfect technical characteristics, featuring a precise strike, immaculate surfaces, and the luminous golden luster characteristic of the American Gold Eagle program. Its composition of 91.67% gold ensures both intrinsic and collectible value. The obverse features Saint-Gaudens' magnificent walking Liberty design, while the reverse, created by Miley Busiek, depicts a family of eagles in a powerful, symbolic representation of American strength. With a modest mintage of 108,805, this particular example represents the absolute zenith of striking quality and preservation for its year and denomination.
