Description

Part of the American Eagle Ten Dollar Gold 1986 to Date series, the 2021 (W) American Eagle Ten Dollar Gold - Type 2 Unfinished Proof Dies is a Gold Eagle from the West Point Mint. With a mintage of 9,063, this is a rare issue — the lowest mintage among 3 mint variants, representing only 5% of total production. 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 and 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+). A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. The West Point Mint, once a bullion depository, became a full production facility specializing in commemorative and bullion coinage. Estimated market value is approximately $5.0K. Struck in 91.67% gold, 3% silver, 5.33% copper, weighing 8.48 grams, 32.7 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #891257.
