A stunning commemorative gold proof that represents the pinnacle of modern American numismatic artistry, this PCGS PR70 DCAM specimen from the West Point Mint celebrates the 20th anniversary of the American Gold Eagle series. Struck in 91.67% pure gold, this exquisite coin showcases the legendary Augustus Saint-Gaudens design reimagined by Miley Busiek, capturing the quintessential American spirit of liberty and strength.
