PCGS PR-70 1 oz American Gold Eagle Proof Coin - Random Year

PCGS PR-70 1 oz American Gold Eagle Proof Coin - Random Year

The US Mint first released the US Gold Eagles in 1986 as the debuting gold coin of the American Gold Eagle Collection. 

The premiere coin was a 22k Gold Eagle bullion coin containing a full Troy oz of gold. The alloy comprises 3% silver and 5.33% copper for added durability, which makes them slightly larger than other popular gold coins in the market.

Proof Gold Eagles were introduced a few months later. Their mirror-like finish enhances the standard designs of Lady Liberty and the Eagle and highlights the most intricate details.

SD Bullion offers 1 oz US Gold Eagle Proof coins of varied mintages, graded as PR-70 coins by PCGS, randomly selected from our inventory.

A PCGS PR-70 Coin

PCGS—Professional Coin Grading Service operates independently of sovereign mints. It evaluates and grades coins using the Sheldon Scale, a grading system from 1 to 70.

PR stands for Proof Coin, indicating a coin produced for collection purposes, which exhibits mirror-like surfaces in contrast with frosted design elements. 70 is the highest grade and indicates a coin with no visible flaws.
