2006-W 1/10 oz Proof American Gold Eagle PF-69 UCAM NGC

---

The 2006 fractional gold proof coin offers a stunning display of American numismatic artistry in a compact format. Struck at the West Point Mint, as indicated by its distinctive 'W' mint mark, this piece contains 1/10 ounce of gold with a purity of 0.9167. With a worldwide mintage of 47,277 pieces, this proof edition showcases highly polished fields and frosted details that emphasize its intricate designs. On the obverse, the design is adapted from the historic Gold Double Eagle created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. It features Lady Liberty walking forward, bringing a sense of movement and grace to the small canvas. The reverse, designed by Miley Busiek, presents a family of bald eagles. One eagle is captured in mid-flight, carrying an olive branch back to a nest that cradles a female eagle and her young. This detailed scene is accompanied by the inscriptions 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', 'IN GOD WE TRUST', 'E PLURIBUS UNUM', and the denomination of '5 DOLLARS'.
