1997-W 1/10 oz Proof American Gold Eagle PF-69 NGC
The 1997 fractional gold coin from the West Point Mint represents a remarkable fusion of historic American art and modern minting technology. Struck with a proof finish, this five-dollar denomination coin contains one-tenth of an ounce of pure gold content. Its presentation highlights the contrasting frosted details and deep, mirrored fields that characterize the highest standards of the United States Mint. On the obverse, the design revives the iconic figure of Lady Liberty as she strides forward, illuminated by the powerful rays of a rising sun. This classic image is paired on the reverse with a detailed scene depicting a male bald eagle returning to its nest. The flying eagle carries an olive branch to its mate and offspring, symbolizing strength and family. Legible inscriptions on the coin include "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM," alongside the weight and face value designations.
