These 1/10 oz 2017 American Gold Eagle Proof coins minted at the US Mint bear the distinct quality of being graded a perfect PF-70 Ultra Cameo by NGC, the highest grade assignable to a proof coin. Moreover, they are encased in a secure plastic slab by NGC with an attractive ‘Early Releases’ blue label, which indicates that the coin inside was struck within the first 30 days of the release of the 2017 American Gold Eagles.
PF-70 grades from NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation) ensure that the proof coins will be unblemished, even under magnification. Additionally, the Ultra Cameo designation specifies an excellent contrast between the mirror-surface of the coin and the design imprint on it.
With annual releases spanning over three decades, American Gold Eagles have become one of the most popular precious metals products in the world. The proof and bullion variants have been around since 1986. However, the uncirculated American Gold Eagles were first minted only in 2006, due to popular demand.
Each of these proof coins contains 1/10 oz 0.9167 pure gold. The United States Government also guarantees a face value of $5 on the 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle coins. Showcasing the brilliant design of Lady Liberty on its obverse, the Ultra Cameo designation really shines – making the image lifelike on the polished surface of pure gold.
These 1/10 oz 2017 American Gold Eagle Proof coins will be a valuable addition to coin collections, serving to complete them with perfect proof coin specimens. Moreover, people with interest in American coinage on pure gold will love these as gifts as well.
