A quintessential modern numismatic treasure, this 1993-W Proof Gold Eagle represents the pinnacle of American Gold Eagle production from the West Point Mint. Graded a flawless PCGS PR-70 Deep Cameo, this specimen exemplifies the highest standard of proof coinage. Struck in 91.67% gold, this one-ounce coin features the iconic Augustus Saint-Gaudens obverse design paired with Miley Busiek's modern reverse. With a mintage of just 34,369, the 1993-W Proof Gold Eagle is a remarkably scarce issue, particularly in this pristine *PR-70 DCAM* state.
