Description
The 2002 (W) Proof American Eagle Ten Dollar Gold is a proof Gold Eagle struck at the West Point Mint, part of the American Eagle Ten Dollar Gold 1986 to Date series. With a mintage of 29,242, this is a scarce issue. The obverse features Liberty striding forward holding a torch and olive branch, with rays of sunlight behind her — widely considered the most beautiful U.S. coin design — adapted from the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle, while the reverse displays a family of eagles — an adult and two juveniles — in a nest, designed by Miley Busiek (1986-2020) or an eagle portrait by Jennie Norris, the redesigned reverse introduced in 2021 (2021+). Designed by Augustus Saint Gaudens/Miley Busiek. Struck in 91.67% gold, 3% silver, 5.33% copper, weighing 8.48 grams, 22 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #99961. The quarter-ounce American Gold Eagle contains 1/4 troy ounce of 22-karat gold. Annual proof editions and the 2021 design transition provide collecting variety.
