2021-W 1/10 oz Proof Gold Eagle (Type 1) PF-70 NGC (Everhart)

---

The year 2021 marked a significant transition for one of the most recognized gold pieces in the world. This tenth-ounce gold coin represents the final release to carry the original reverse imagery that defined the series since its inception. Struck at the West Point Mint, the coin has been certified in perfect proof condition, showcasing the highest standards of modern minting technology. On the front of the coin, the iconic figure of Lady Liberty strides forward, illuminated by the rays of a rising sun. This classic image is a direct adaptation of the famous early twentieth-century design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. The reverse side features the classic family of eagles designed by Miley Busiek, depicting a male eagle returning to a nest containing a female and their offspring, carrying an olive branch in its talons. Containing exactly 0.1000 troy ounces of gold, this five-dollar denomination coin was produced in a limited run of 16,200 pieces. It stands as a historic bridge between the classic era of the series and its modern evolution.
