# 2006-W $50 One-Ounce Gold Eagle, PCGS PR70 DCAM - 20th Anniversary Proof. A stunning commemorative gold specimen representing the pinnacle of modern American numismatic artistry, this 2006 West Point Proof Gold Eagle celebrates the 20th anniversary of the critically acclaimed Gold Eagle series. Struck in one ounce of 91.67% pure gold, this pristine example showcases the extraordinary craftsmanship of the United States Mint. Graded a flawless PCGS Proof 70 Deep Cameo, this coin represents the absolute zenith of strike quality and preservation. With a remarkably low population of just 1,271 coins at this grade level, it is a true numismatic treasure. The coin features the iconic Augustus Saint-Gaudens design for the obverse, paired with Miley Busiek's modern reverse, creating a harmonious blend of classic and contemporary American design elements. Minted at the West Point Mint with a limited mintage of 47,092 pieces, this 20th Anniversary Gold Eagle is a significant collector's piece. Its immaculate Deep Cameo (DCAM) finish provides extraordinary visual contrast, with frosted devices set against a mirror-like field. The technical specifications—33.93 grams of gold alloy, 32.7mm in diameter—represent the pinnacle of modern gold coinage standards.
