Description
# 1996 $10 Gold Eagle 1/4 oz PCGS MS69 Blue Label. This exceptional 1996 Gold Eagle Quarter-Ounce represents a pristine example of the American Gold Eagle series, struck at the Philadelphia Mint and graded a remarkable PCGS MS69. Featuring the iconic Augustus Saint-Gaudens obverse design reimagined by Miley Busiek, this coin exemplifies the pinnacle of modern American gold coinage craftsmanship. Struck from a 91.67% gold composition, this specimen boasts extraordinary preservation with only the most minute technical imperfections preventing a perfect MS70 grade. With a modest mintage of just 60,318 pieces, the coin is further distinguished by its Blue Label certification and low population of only 75 coins graded at this elite level out of 549 total submissions. The coin's technical specifications include a precise weight of 8.48 grams, 22mm diameter, and classic reeded edge, maintaining the highest standards of the American Gold Eagle program. PCGS Certification: 71738262. Population: 75 coins at MS69. Estimated Value: $1,700. Mint Location: Philadelphia. A premier collectible for the discerning numismatist, this 1996 Gold Eagle represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a near-perfect example of this beloved modern gold coin series.
