Description
2012-W Proof Gold Eagle 1/10 oz, PCGS PR70. This exceptional 2012-W Proof Gold Eagle represents one of the finest examples of this popular fractional gold issue. Struck at the West Point Mint and graded PCGS PR70, this coin achieves the highest certification level, indicating flawless surfaces with no visible imperfections under magnification. The 1/10 ounce format makes these coins particularly attractive to collectors seeking entry-level access to U.S. Mint gold coinage. The 2012 issue continues the American Eagle Proof Gold series, which debuted in 1986 and remains one of the most collected modern U.S. gold programs. Each coin features John Mercanti's iconic reverse design of an eagle landing on a nest with an olive branch, paired with the obverse portrait of Liberty. The *Proof* finish displays characteristic mirrored fields and frosted devices, showcasing the artistry of U.S. Mint coinage at its finest. A PR70 designation is remarkably difficult to achieve, particularly for fractional gold coins where even minor striking variations or handling marks can result in lower grades. This specimen represents an outstanding example for the discerning collector or investor seeking both quality and the prestige of the American Eagle Gold Proof series. PCGS Certificate #512105
