Description

# 1988 Gold Eagle 1/10 oz PCGS MS70. A stunning perfect specimen of the 1988 $5 Gold American Eagle, representing the pinnacle of numismatic preservation and quality. This exceptional *1/10 oz* gold coin emerges from the Philadelphia Mint with an extraordinary PCGS MS70 grade, a remarkable achievement highlighting its pristine state. Designed by the legendary Augustus Saint-Gaudens and featuring Miley Busiek's iconic reverse, this coin represents a significant piece of American numismatic history. With a remarkably low mintage of 159,500, this Gold Eagle is substantially rarer compared to later years, such as the 1999 issue with over 2.7 million coins produced. The coin's technical composition of 91.67% gold, complemented by silver and copper, ensures both collectibility and intrinsic precious metal value. Graded by PCGS with certificate #57627685, this coin is among an incredibly limited population of just 46 coins graded at the perfect MS70 level. Its impeccable 16.5mm diameter and reeded edge exemplify the meticulous craftsmanship of the United States Mint. With a price guide value of $8,250, this coin represents an exceptional opportunity for the discerning numismatist or precious metals investor seeking a truly exceptional specimen.
