1987 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle BU (MCMLXXXVII)
The 1987 tenth-ounce American Gold Eagle stands as a fascinating example of modern United States coinage, particularly notable for how it displays its year of issue. Rather than using standard Arabic numerals, this gold piece utilizes the traditional Roman numeral system, rendering the date 1987 as MCMLXXXVII. This design choice lends a classic, historic feel to the coin, connecting it to the deep traditions of ancient currency. On the obverse, the word LIBERTY is boldly displayed alongside the Roman numerals. The coin contains exactly one-tenth of a troy ounce of gold, combining precious metal purity with a design that captures the imagination of those who appreciate artistic engraving and historical motifs.
