1997-W Proof Gold Eagle 1/10 oz Brown Label

Description

1997-W Proof Gold Eagle 1/10 oz, NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo. This exceptional 1997-W Proof Gold Eagle represents the pinnacle of modern U.S. bullion coinage artistry. Struck at the West Point Mint facility, this fractional one-tenth ounce gold piece displays the iconic obverse design featuring Lady Liberty in profile, while the reverse showcases a majestic eagle landing on a nest with an olive branch. The *brown label* designation indicates this coin was graded during NGC's early certification period, adding to its collectible appeal for vintage slab enthusiasts. Graded NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo, this coin exhibits flawless surfaces with exceptional contrast between the deeply mirrored fields and fully frosted design elements—the hallmark of an Ultra Cameo designation. The perfect numerical grade of 70 represents the highest standard of proof production quality, indicating no imperfections visible to the naked eye or under magnification. As one of the most desirable grades for modern proof gold coins, PF70 examples command strong collector interest. The 1997 date falls within the popular early-production years of modern proof Gold Eagles, when mintage figures were more modest than later years. This particular example, combined with its exceptional grade and vintage brown label holder, makes it an attractive offering for both seasoned collectors and those building high-grade modern gold proof sets.
