Description

1997-W Proof Gold Eagle 1/10 oz Brown Label, NGC PF70. This exceptional 1997-W Proof Gold Eagle represents one of the finest examples of this popular fractional gold issue. The coin features the classic design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens on the obverse, depicting Lady Liberty in all her majesty, while the reverse showcases a soaring eagle in flight—designs that have graced American coinage for over a century. Composed of .9167 fine gold, this one-tenth ounce piece contains approximately 3.11 grams of pure gold. The specimen offered here has achieved a perfect NGC PF70 grade, indicating flawless proof striking with exceptional eye appeal and mirror-like fields. The brown label designation reflects the vintage NGC holder in which this coin was originally certified, adding to its collectible appeal. The West Point Mint mark (W) identifies this as a product of the United States Mint at West Point, known for producing some of the finest proof gold coins. Fractional gold eagles from the 1990s remain highly sought after by both bullion investors and numismatic collectors. The 1997 proof issue represents a key date in the fractional eagle series, and examples of this caliber—particularly at the PF70 level—are increasingly difficult to locate. This coin would make an excellent addition to any gold or proof eagle collection. *NGC Certification #9915*
