Description
# 1988 $5 Gold Eagle, PCGS MS70 - A Pristine Numismatic Treasure. This exceptional 1988 Gold Eagle represents a pinnacle of modern American gold coinage, graded a flawless PCGS MS70. With an incredibly low total population of just 46 coins certified at this perfect grade, this specimen offers collectors a truly rare opportunity to acquire a museum-quality example of this classic series. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this 1/10 oz Gold Eagle features the iconic design originally conceived by Augustus Saint-Gaudens and later adapted by Miley Busiek. Composed of 91.67% gold, this coin represents the pinnacle of American bullion coinage from the late 20th century. The mintage of only 159,500 pieces makes this an especially desirable issue, significantly lower than later years in the series. The coin's PCGS MS70 designation represents absolute perfection, with no discernible imperfections at 5x magnification. With PCGS Certificate #57627695, this piece is not just a precious metal investment, but a true numismatic treasure that embodies the pinnacle of minting technology and artistic design. Its exceptional grade and low population ensure it will be a centerpiece in even the most sophisticated gold coin collection.
