While there are enough limited issue coins in the American Gold Eagle series to keep any collector busy, this 1/10 oz. specimen displays a well-known Mint error that makes it very desirable. This 1999 $5 Gold Eagle has a standard finish, but it also has a "W" Mint mark. These coins were created through the use of unfinished proof dies for production of bullion specimens. Fewer than 6,000 of these are thought to exist. This makes them one of the most collectible Gold Eagles of the entire series!
The obverse of this scarce error coin displays the work of Augustus Saint-Gaudens. This design is over 100 years old, it was the final design to be used for the Double Eagle when it was in production. The Mint mark is located just below the date.
The lifelike scene on the reverse is the work of Miley Busiek. An entire family of bald eagles can be seen here.
This coin was submitted to the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) for grading. Their team of experts uses a grading scale with a maximum of 70. This Gold Eagle received the grade of Mint State 69, which means it is almost perfect.
