Description

1988-P Proof Gold Eagle 1/10 oz, NGC PF70. This exceptional 1988-P Proof Gold Eagle represents one of the finest examples of this classic American bullion coin issue. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint and graded NGC PF70, this diminutive 1/10 ounce gold piece exemplifies the high standards of the U.S. Mint's proof production during the late 1980s. The 1988 proof gold eagle series was produced in limited quantities for collectors and serious numismatists. The PF70 designation indicates near-perfect strike quality and pristine surfaces with exceptional eye appeal. The brown label designation reflects NGC's vintage holder format, adding to the historical collectibility of this certified specimen. The reverse features John Merkl's iconic design of an eagle landing on a nest with an olive branch, while the obverse displays Augustus Saint-Gaudens' celebrated Lady Liberty profile. 1/10 ounce gold eagles remain highly sought after by both bullion investors and proof coin collectors, offering an affordable entry point into the prestigious American Eagle program while maintaining the prestige of U.S. Mint proof coinage. This PF70 example represents the upper echelon of preservation and would serve as an outstanding addition to any advanced gold coin collection or proof set.
