A Flawless 1990s Proof Gold Eagle From West Point
The 1997 W 1/10 oz proof Gold Eagle is a $5 American Eagle coin struck at the West Point Mint, holding one tenth of a troy ounce of gold in a .9167 (22 karat) alloy. NGC graded it PF 70 UCAM. PF 70 is a perfect proof grade with no flaws visible at 5x, and UCAM, or Ultra Cameo, marks strong contrast between frosted design elements and mirrored fields.
A 1990s Proof From the Second Decade
The Gold American Eagle series began in 1986, so this 1997 proof comes from the program's second decade. Its obverse is Augustus Saint-Gaudens' Liberty striding forward with a flaming torch and an olive branch, with the year below. The reverse, by Miley Busiek, shows a family of eagles, with the male flying above the nest, along with the weight and $5 denomination. The W mint mark identifies West Point as the striking facility.

Comparing 1997 Proof Eagle Offers
For a perfect-grade proof, the premium over gold spot reflects the year and the PF 70 UCAM certification more than the metal itself. Dealers set those premiums differently. Bullion Hunters shows each published price together, so you can compare this coin with other american gold eagle listings or browse all 1/10 oz gold coins.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does NGC PF 70 UCAM mean on a 1997 proof Gold Eagle?
PF 70 is the top grade on the 70-point Sheldon scale for proofs, with no imperfections visible under 5x magnification. UCAM, short for Ultra Cameo, means the frosted design stands out sharply against mirror-like fields.
How is a 1997 W 1/10 oz proof Gold Eagle priced?
Dealers start with the spot value of its tenth ounce of gold and add a premium for the proof finish, the 1997 date and the PF 70 grade. Premiums vary by seller, so review the published prices side by side.
