In 1986, the US Mint unveiled the Gold Eagle Series, offering 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz gold coins for investors, alongside a single weight in the numismatic Proof Gold Eagle Series. It wasn’t until 1988 that all four coins, including fractional ounces, became part of the Proof Gold Eagle Series.

The 2010 release holds significance within the Proof American Gold Eagle series. Following the Great Recession in 2008 and the subsequent surge in gold and silver demand, the US Mint ceased numismatic issues in 2009 due to depleted gold and silver blanks, directing all resources towards BU Eagles. Therefore, 2010 marked the resurgence of the program, met with nearly double the demand from the last issue in 2008. The 1/10 oz Proof Gold Eagle jumped from 28,116 coins in 2008 to 54,285 in 2010. This was the second-highest mintage among the four weights, just behind the 59,480 coins sold in the 1 oz Proof Gold Eagle.

Each 2010-W 1/10 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coin from BullionMax comes encased in a capsule and housed in presentation boxes, accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from the mint. Admire the exquisite frosted design elements contrasting with mirrored, clear background fields.

On the obverse of 2010-W Proof American Gold Eagles, witness the timeless depiction of Lady Liberty, designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Liberty strides forward, holding a torch and an olive branch, with rays of sunlight emanating behind her, and a ring of stars encircling the edge.

The reverse of the 2010-W 1/10 oz Proof Gold Eagle Coin showcases a family of American bald eagles, exclusively designed for this series by Miley Busiek in 1986. A male eagle soars over a vast nest, where a female eagle tenderly shelters two hatchlings beneath her wing.
