1990 American Gold Eagle Set PF70

Here’s a breakdown of the key terms:

• American Gold Eagle: The official gold bullion coin of the United States, introduced in 1986. It is composed of 91.67% gold, 3% silver, and 5.33% copper, making it more durable than pure gold coins. These coins come in four denominations: 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz.

• 1990: The specific year of the minting. Collectors often seek specific years, especially for complete sets or for coins from milestone or less common years.

• Proof (PF): Proof coins are struck with specially polished dies and planchets to create a high-quality finish, resulting in sharp details and a mirror-like background.

• PF70: This represents the perfect grade for a proof coin on the 70-point Sheldon coin grading scale. A PF70 coin is considered flawless under magnification, making it highly desirable for collectors.
