Mercanti) **Please note the box and label display imperfections.** A true modern masterpiece, the **2015 1 oz Proof Gold Wedge-Tailed Eagle** highlights the artistry of John M. Mercanti, legendary 12th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint, and the exceptional craftsmanship of the **Perth Mint**. Struck in 1 troy ounce of .9999 fine gold, this proof coin has been certified a flawless **PF 70 Deep Cameo (DCAM) by PCGS**, displaying sharp detail and mirror-like contrast. The Wedge-Tailed Eagle series, first introduced in 2014, quickly established itself as one of the Perth Mint’s most successful modern programs. The 2014–2015 inaugural design by Mercanti features Australia’s largest bird of prey in flight, wings spread wide as it prepares to land on a branch.
