Description
1988-P Proof Gold Eagle 1/4 oz Brown Label, NGC PF70. This exceptional 1988-P Proof Gold Eagle represents a significant offering from the early years of the modern American Eagle bullion program. The 1/4 ounce denomination struck at the Philadelphia Mint showcases the iconic John Mercanti reverse design featuring an eagle landing on a nest, paired with Augustus Saint-Gaudens' celebrated Lady Liberty obverse. The piece has been certified by NGC and awarded a perfect grade of PF70, indicating virtually flawless striking and preservation. The brown label designation reflects the vintage NGC holder in which this coin was originally encapsulated, adding to its historical provenance as a collectible artifact from the early certification era. As a Proof issue, this coin displays the characteristic mirror fields and frosted devices that define the Proof finish, resulting in exceptional eye appeal and collector desirability. The 1988-P Proof Gold Eagle maintains strong appeal among both precious metals investors and numismatic collectors seeking examples from the formative decade of the American Eagle program. The PF70 technical grade combined with the early production year and the vintage holder presentation makes this a notable offering for discerning bidders. Starting Bid: $1,250
