Description
# 1987 $5 Gold Eagle 1/10 oz PCGS MS-69 Blue Label. A pristine example of the early American Gold Eagle series, this 1987 $5 Gold Eagle represents a remarkable specimen from the second year of this iconic modern bullion program. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint with a limited mintage of 580,266 pieces, this *1/10 oz* gold coin showcases exceptional quality and preservation. Graded a near-perfect PCGS MS-69, this coin exhibits extraordinary technical merit with exceptional strike quality and pristine surfaces. With only 173 coins graded at this level out of 2,160 total submissions, this piece represents a high-tier collectible for the discerning numismatist. The design features the classic Augustus Saint-Gaudens obverse reimagined by Miley Busiek, presenting Liberty in a powerful, striding pose against a radiant background. Composed of 91.67% gold, with supplemental silver and copper alloys, this compact 3.39-gram coin measures 16.5mm in diameter and features a traditional reeded edge. The Blue Label certification from PCGS adds further prestige, indicating a superlative example of this early Gold Eagle issue. With a current price guide value of $506, this coin offers both numismatic significance and intrinsic precious metal value. PCGS Certification: 72745049. Mintage: 580,266. Grade: MS-69
