2018 W $5 Proof Gold Eagle NGC PF70 UCAM First Day of Issue
The 1/10 oz $5 Gold Eagle is one of the 4 selections released by the United States Mint in 2018. The Gold Eagle is considered the gold coin that kicked off the modern era of coin collecting. This smaller version of the classic 1 oz still carries all the same features and beauty.
The design depicts Lady Liberty walking confidently against the sun’s rays, carrying a torch and an olive branch. The reverse of the coin shows a pristine male bald eagle in flight carrying an olive branch to his nest, where a female eagle and her young are perched.
This 2018 American Gold Eagle has a First Day of Issue pedigree as well as an Ultra Cameo designation that refers to the coins' intense frosted finish and highly polished fields.
