A Perfect Philadelphia Proof: The 1988 P Half-Ounce Gold Eagle
The 1988 P $25 proof Gold Eagle is a half-ounce American Gold Eagle struck as a proof at the Philadelphia Mint and graded PF 70 UCAM by NGC. It contains 1/2 troy ounce of gold in a .9167 fine, 22-karat alloy. PF 70 is the top grade on the 70-point scale, and UCAM, short for Ultra Cameo, means strong contrast between frosted design and mirror-like fields.
Roman Numeral Date, Flawless Grade
Proof coins are struck with specially prepared dies and polished blanks, which gives them mirrored fields and sharp detail. A PF 70 grade means no imperfections are visible under 5x magnification. Like other Gold Eagles from 1986 through 1991, this coin is dated in Roman numerals, MCMLXXXVIII. Augustus Saint-Gaudens' Liberty strides forward with torch and olive branch, the Capitol and rising sun behind her, while the reverse shows a male eagle with an olive branch above a nest holding a female and hatchlings.

Comparing PF 70 Proof Eagle Offers

Frequently Asked Questions
What does PF 70 UCAM mean on a 1988 proof Gold Eagle?
PF 70 is the highest grade on the Sheldon scale for proofs, with no imperfections visible under 5x magnification. UCAM, or Ultra Cameo, is NGC's designation for strong contrast between frosted devices and mirror-like fields.
How do dealers price a 1988 P proof Gold Eagle in PF 70?
They begin with the spot value of the half ounce of gold and add a premium for the proof strike, the 1988 date and the PF 70 UCAM grade. Premiums differ between dealers, so compare their published prices.
