2003-W First Flight Centennial Gold $10. Proof-69 Deep Cameo (PCGS). Gorgeous golden-yellow surfaces are fully struck with strong field to device contrast. The centennial of brothers Orville and Wilbur Wrights first manned flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina on December 17, 1903, is commemorated on gold coins of this type. This issue, along with the associated commemorative half dollars and silver dollars, was authorized by Public Law 105-124, December 1, 1997. Donna Weaver prepared the designs for the gold $10, the obverse with frontal portraits of the Wright brothers and the reverse with a bald eagle above their <em>Wright Flyer</em>. Production of the gold coins was accomplished at the West Point Mint, which struck 10,009 circulation strikes and 21,676 Proofs. A virtually pristine example, this Superb Gem Proof is sure to please.
