Description
1999-W Proof Gold Eagle, 1/10 oz, Ed Moy Signature, NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo. This exceptional 1999-W Proof Gold Eagle represents a premium example of America's most popular fractional gold bullion coin. Struck at the West Point Mint during the height of the American Eagle program, this one-tenth ounce proof displays the iconic obverse design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens and the heraldic eagle reverse by Miley Busiek. The present example has achieved a perfect NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo designation, indicating flawless surfaces with exceptional contrast between deeply mirrored fields and frosted devices. The Ed Moy signature variant represents a notable detail for collectors, as signature varieties on proof coinage have become increasingly sought after in recent years. The 1999-W proof mintage of 49,309 pieces makes this a moderately scarce issue within the fractional eagle series, particularly in premium grades. This coin would serve as an excellent addition to any advanced gold eagle collection or proof set, combining both numismatic appeal and intrinsic gold value. The PF70 grade represents the finest quality available for this date and mint mark combination. NGC Certificate #9940
