2007-W 1/10 oz Proof American Gold Eagle (w/Box & COA)

The 2007 proof edition of the tenth-ounce American Gold Eagle showcases the marriage of historic design and modern minting precision. Struck at the West Point Mint, this five-dollar denomination coin is composed of 0.9167 fine gold, containing exactly one-tenth of a troy ounce of pure gold. Its polished, mirror-like surfaces contrast sharply with the frosted design elements, a signature characteristic of the United States Mint's proof-striking process. On the obverse, the coin displays a celebrated figure of Lady Liberty, who strides forward holding a lighted torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other. This iconic image is adapted from the famous early twentieth-century design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. The reverse, created by Miley Busiek, presents a family of eagles, depicting a male bird in flight carrying an olive branch to a nest where a female eagle tends to her young. Inscriptions on the coin include the traditional mottos IN GOD WE TRUST and E PLURIBUS UNUM, alongside the country of origin and the denomination. With a total global production of 58,553 pieces, this specific 2007 release remains a compelling study in American numismatic art.
