Proudly exhibiting the Early Releases blue label from NGC, these 2017 1 oz Proof American Gold Eagles from the US Mint are graded a perfect PF-70 and encased in a plastic slab. While the PF-70 Ultra Cameo grade indicates a flawless Proof coin with no imperfections and a striking contrast between the gold and the design imprint, the ‘Early Releases’ label announces the minting of this coin within the first 30 days of the release of the 2017 issue of coins.
NGC has been grading coins for over three decades and has established itself as one of the topmost authorities on authenticating, grading, inspecting, and certifying coins. It has a rigorous grading process, which guarantees buyers the exact quality of any coin that they pay for.
Proof coins, unlike their bullion counterparts, bear a Mint Mark to display their source. Each of these 2017 American Gold Eagles shows the ‘W’ mark of the West Point facility of the United States Mint. Moreover, they are minted from 1 troy ounce of 0.9167 pure gold. Every One Ounce American Eagle coin is assigned a $50 (USD) face value by the United States Government. Since NGC encases these coins in a secure transparent plastic container, the proof coins are easily visible for display, while protecting the coins from harm.
The obverses of these 2017 Proof American Gold Eagle coins feature the famed Saint-Gaudens portrayal of Lady Liberty, holding a torch aloft in one hand and an olive branch in the other. Additionally, the United States Capitol Building can also be seen in the backdrop of this image.
