1997 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle MS-70 PCGS
The 1997 five dollar American Gold Eagle is a striking example of United States coinage, containing exactly one tenth of an ounce of gold. This small but detailed coin showcases two distinct artistic visions that celebrate national iconography. On the front of the coin, Lady Liberty is depicted in a powerful forward stride, set against a backdrop of radiating sunbeams. This iconic presentation is based on the famous Gold Double Eagle artwork originally created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. The reverse side shifts focus to a family of bald eagles, illustrating a male bird in mid flight as it carries an olive branch back to a nest occupied by a female eagle and their young. This piece carries several traditional inscriptions, including the national mottos IN GOD WE TRUST and E PLURIBUS UNUM. The reverse also clearly displays the coin's weight and face value, marked as 1/10 OZ. FINE GOLD 5 DOLLARS.
