Description
1994-W Proof Gold Eagle, 1/10 oz, John Mercanti Design. This exceptional 1994-W Proof Gold Eagle represents one of the finest examples of the American Eagle proof program during the mid-1990s. The fractional 1/10 ounce denomination showcases John Mercanti's acclaimed eagle reverse design, featuring a soaring eagle with an olive branch—a design that has become iconic in American numismatics. The obverse displays Liberty in profile, struck in 91.67% pure gold with a total weight of 1/10 troy ounce. Graded NGC Proof 70, this coin represents a flawless example of the minter's art, achieving the highest numerical grade on the Proof scale. The West Point mint mark ("W") confirms production at the United States Mint at West Point, New York. At this elite grade level, the coin exhibits pristine surfaces with full original mint luster and frosted proof fields that contrast beautifully with the mirrored background—precisely as struck. The 1994-W Proof Gold Eagle remains a popular choice among precious metals investors and collectors seeking fractional gold in exceptional condition. This NGC-certified example, bearing certificate number 9879, offers both numismatic appeal and intrinsic gold value, making it a desirable addition to any gold eagle collection.
