Description
1998-W Proof Platinum Eagle, 1/2 oz, NGC PF70. This exceptional 1998-W Proof Platinum Eagle represents one of the finest examples of the early American Platinum Eagle proof coinage program. The half-ounce denomination was produced in limited quantities during the inaugural years of this prestigious series, making each piece a significant addition to any platinum collection. The coin displays the iconic reverse design featuring an eagle in flight, complemented by the obverse portrait of Liberty. Struck at the West Point Mint, as denoted by the "W" mintmark, this proof specimen exhibits the sharp striking detail and mirror fields characteristic of U.S. Mint proof production standards. Graded NGC PF70 (NGC Certificate #99767), this coin achieves the highest proof grade, indicating perfect preservation with no visible imperfections under standard magnification. The brown label designation reflects NGC's authentication of this premium-grade specimen. Early-date platinum eagles, particularly in top grades, continue to attract serious collectors pursuing complete date and mintmark sets of this limited-production series.
