Struck at the West Point Mint as indicated by the "W" mintmark, this fractional gold eagle contains exactly 1/10 troy ounce of pure gold and displays the classic reverse design by John Mercanti featuring an eagle landing on a nest with an olive branch, while the obverse showcases Augustus Saint-Gaudens' iconic Lady Liberty in profile. The coin has achieved a perfect PCGS Proof 70 designation (PCGS Certification #99965), indicating flawless presentation with no visible imperfections under magnification. This elite grade represents the finest quality achievable for proof coinage, with pristine surfaces, sharp strikes, and the characteristic mirror fields and frosted devices inherent to proof production.
