Description
2016-W Proof Gold Eagle 1/10 oz, NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo. This exceptional 2016-W Proof Gold Eagle 1/10 oz represents the pinnacle of modern U.S. Mint gold coinage. Struck at the West Point Mint and graded NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo, this piece exemplifies the highest standards of proof production, with its distinctive brown label indicating the coveted Ultra Cameo designation—a hallmark of exceptional contrast between deeply mirrored fields and frosted devices. The 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle fractional denominations have long been favored by collectors and investors alike for their combination of precious metal content, beautiful design, and relative accessibility. The proof versions, in particular, showcase the artistry of the U.S. Mint's craftsmen, with each coin meticulously struck to produce the characteristic cameo effect that collectors prize. An NGC PF70 grade indicates this coin has achieved a perfect or near-perfect strike with no visible imperfections under magnification. For modern proof gold eagles, achieving this elite grade is a significant accomplishment, making this an outstanding example for the discerning collector. Certificate #570535.
