Description
2005-W Proof Gold Eagle, 1/10 oz, Red Book. This exceptional 2005-W Proof Gold Eagle represents one of the finest examples of this modern classic fractional gold issue. Struck at the West Point Mint, this diminutive one-tenth ounce proof contains .9167 fine gold and showcases the iconic reverse design by Miley Busiek featuring an eagle in flight with an olive branch. The obverse displays John Merkanti's celebrated Liberty design, a hallmark of the American Eagle program. Graded NGC PF 70, this coin represents the absolute pinnacle of preservation, demonstrating flawless striking and pristine surfaces that exemplify the meticulous standards of West Point's proof production. The designation "Red Book" indicates this coin meets the specifications and standards documented in the official Red Book of United States Coins. With certificate number 99976, this specimen offers both technical excellence and the assurance of professional authentication. The 2005-W proof fractional gold eagles maintain steady collector demand, particularly in premium grades where quality specimens become increasingly scarce. This perfect grade example would serve as an outstanding centerpiece for any American gold eagle collection or as an excellent entry point into fractional gold proof collecting.
