Description
2021-W Type 2 Proof Gold Eagle 1/4 oz, NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo. This exceptional 2021-W Proof Gold Eagle represents the first year of the Type 2 design, featuring John Mercanti's updated reverse eagle design. Struck at the West Point Mint, this quarter-ounce gold proof contains 1/4 troy ounce of .9167 fine gold and exemplifies the modern American Gold Eagle program's commitment to numismatic excellence. The coin has achieved a perfect NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo designation (Certificate #885726), denoting flawless surfaces with exceptional contrast between deeply mirrored fields and frosted devices. The Type 2 reverse, introduced in 2021, presents a more contemporary eagle design while maintaining the iconic status of this prestigious bullion and collectible series. First Day of Issue (FDI) designation confirms this coin's early release status. As a modern proof gold eagle in the highest grade achievable, this piece appeals to both precious metals investors and serious collectors pursuing complete type sets and early-year examples of the redesigned eagle reverse.
