Description

2012-W Proof Gold Eagle 1/4 oz, NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo. This exceptional 2012-W Proof Gold Eagle represents one of the finest examples of this popular one-quarter ounce gold issue. Struck at the West Point Mint and graded NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo (Certificate #512108), this coin exhibits the pristine quality and striking cameo contrast that collectors prize in modern proof gold eagles. The 2012-W quarter-ounce gold eagle continues the legacy of the American Eagle program, featuring John Mercanti's iconic reverse eagle design paired with Augustus Saint-Gaudens' celebrated obverse Liberty. As a proof issue, this coin was carefully struck multiple times to achieve maximum detail and mirror fields, resulting in the characteristic frosted devices and brilliant reflective background. The PF70 designation indicates a coin of perfect or near-perfect quality with no post-minting imperfections visible to the naked eye or under standard magnification. The Ultra Cameo designation further confirms the exceptional contrast between the frosted and mirror surfaces, a hallmark of superior proof striking. This represents an outstanding example for the discerning collector or investor seeking premium-quality modern gold bullion proofs.
