Description
# 1993-W Proof Gold Eagle 1 oz PCGS PR70 DCAM. An exceptional pristine specimen of the coveted 1993-W Proof Gold Eagle, this *one-ounce* gold coin represents a pinnacle of American numismatic artistry and rarity. Struck at the West Point Mint with a remarkably low mintage of just 34,369 pieces, this coin has achieved the pinnacle of numismatic perfection with a PCGS PR70 Deep Cameo designation. Featuring the iconic Augustus Saint-Gaudens obverse design and Miley Busiek's reverse eagle motif, this coin exemplifies the American Gold Eagle series at its finest. Composed of 91.67% gold, the coin weighs 33.93 grams and measures 32.7mm in diameter, with a classic reeded edge. The PCGS Population Report indicates only 665 total graded, with this specimen being among the elite PR70 DCAM examples. Historically significant, this coin has a fascinating provenance that includes dramatic price fluctuations and collector interest. Once considered the "King" of Proof American Gold Eagles, it commanded prices up to $33,000 in 2006 before market dynamics shifted. Despite price corrections, this coin remains a highly desirable collectible, particularly given its near-impossible-to-achieve perfect grade and the inherent challenges in preserving such a pristine specimen.
