Description
2001-W Proof Gold Eagle 1/10 oz, Brown Label, NGC PF70. This exceptional 2001-W Proof Gold Eagle represents one of the finest examples of this classic fractional gold bullion issue. Struck at the West Point Mint during the height of the American Gold Eagle program, this 1/10 oz coin showcases the iconic obverse design featuring Lady Liberty striding forward with torch held high, while the reverse displays a family of bald eagles in a nest—designs created by renowned sculptor Miley Busiek. The coin has achieved a perfect NGC PF70 grade, indicating flawless eye appeal with exceptional luster and strike characteristics. The brown label designation reflects NGC's earlier grading holder format, adding to its vintage appeal for collectors of the certification era. At this exceptional grade level, the coin displays pristine surfaces with virtually no imperfections visible under magnification, showcasing the precision striking and quality control that West Point applied to their proof coinage. The 2001-W Proof Gold Eagle remains a popular entry point for collectors building comprehensive gold eagle collections, combining the prestige of proof coinage with the practical fractional weight. This certified example at the highest grade represents an outstanding opportunity for serious collectors seeking premium quality specimens. *NGC Certificate #99955*
