Description
1987 Gold Eagle 1/10 oz, PCGS MS70. This exceptional 1987 American Gold Eagle 1/10 oz represents one of the finest examples of this popular bullion issue, having achieved a perfect *PCGS MS70* grade. The Gold Eagle program, launched in 1986, quickly became one of the most widely collected and traded gold coins in the world, and this early date from the inaugural years of widespread distribution showcases the exceptional quality that collectors seek. The 1/10 oz Gold Eagle contains precisely .1 troy ounce of pure gold, making it an ideal size for both investors and collectors. This specimen's perfect MS70 grade indicates exceptional eye appeal with full mint luster, sharp strike definition, and no visible imperfections under magnification. The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens' iconic Lady Liberty design, while the reverse displays a family of eagles in a nest—imagery that has made these coins beloved by enthusiasts for decades. Early-date Gold Eagles in premium grades command strong collector interest, particularly those achieving the elusive MS70 designation. This piece represents an outstanding example of American gold coinage craftsmanship from the formative years of the modern Gold Eagle program. PCGS Certificate #9810 accompanies this lot.
