The 2017-W 1/10 oz Proof American Gold Eagle graded PF70 Ultra Cameo with the First Day of Issue (FDOI) designation is a highly prized, museum-quality numismatic coin minted at the West Point Mint. While it contains exactly 1/10 troy ounce of pure gold, a common misconception is its purity; American Gold Eagles are actually minted in 22-karat gold (.9167 fine), alloyed with silver and copper for scratch-resistant durability. Coin Specifications & Grading Grading & Condition: Certified as PF70 (Proof 70) by top-tier grading services like NGC or PCGS, indicating a flawless coin with no post-production imperfections visible under 5x magnification. FDOI Designation: The First Day of Issue label signifies that the coin was purchased within 24 hours of the U.S. Mint's official release date, boosting its scarcity and collector demand. Metal Content: Contains 1/10 troy oz of actual gold weight. The total coin weight is slightly higher due to the alloy blend. Premium vs. Spot Price: Because this is a perfect-grade proof coin with a pedigree label, it commands a steep numismatic premium over the raw "spot" price of gold. Market Valuation: While a standard 1/10 oz gold bullion coin trades close to the current gold spot price, retail offerings and historical secondary market sales on platforms like eBay for this exact PF70 FDOI specimen generally range from $600 to $725+, heavily influenced by the signature on the label.
