1988-P Proof Gold Eagle 1/10 oz Red Book

Description

1988-P Proof Gold Eagle 1/10 oz, NGC PF70. This exceptional example of the 1988-P Proof Gold Eagle represents the pinnacle of early American Eagle coinage. The one-tenth ounce fractional denomination has long been favored by collectors seeking entry-level access to U.S. gold bullion coinage while maintaining the prestige of the official American Eagle program. Certified by NGC as PF70, this coin exhibits the flawless surfaces and razor-sharp strike characteristic of the finest proof production. The 1988 date falls within the early years of the American Eagle proof program, making high-grade examples increasingly desirable to both type collectors and those building comprehensive date runs. The obverse features Lady Liberty in profile, while the reverse displays the iconic eagle landing on a branch, both rendered with exceptional clarity and detail. The Philadelphia mint mark ("P") on this fractional ounce piece confirms its production at the primary U.S. mint facility. As a modern proof gold issue, this coin combines numismatic appeal with intrinsic precious metal value, offering collectors both aesthetic beauty and tangible asset backing. The perfect technical grade underscores the quality of the original strike and subsequent preservation.
