Description

# 2001-W Proof Gold Eagle 1/10 oz, NGC PF70. A superb example of this early 21st-century American Gold Eagle proof, struck at the West Point Mint and certified by NGC at the coveted PF70 grade. This fractional-ounce gold eagle represents the pinnacle of modern U.S. Mint proof coinage production, with pristine surfaces and exceptional eye appeal.

The PF70 designation indicates perfect or near-perfect strike quality with no post-mint defects—an exceptional achievement for any proof coin. Certification: NGC PF70 (Cert. #99955). Metal Content: 1/10 oz of .9167 fine gold. Mint: West Point (W).
