Description
2005-W Proof Gold Eagle 1/4 oz, PCGS PR70. This exceptional 2005-W Proof Gold Eagle represents a premier example of America's flagship bullion coinage program. Struck at the West Point Mint and graded PCGS PR70, this quarter-ounce gold proof achieves the highest numerical grade possible, indicating flawless surfaces with no visible imperfections under magnification. The 1/4 oz Gold Eagle, composed of .9167 fine gold, features John Mercanti's iconic reverse design of an eagle landing on a nest with an olive branch, paired with Augustus Saint-Gaudens' timeless obverse Liberty. West Point proof production is notably limited compared to other mints, making W-mint examples particularly desirable to advanced collectors. A PR70 designation is exceptionally rare in the modern proof Gold Eagle series, reflecting superior striking quality and pristine preservation. This certificate number 99977 represents a specimen worthy of the most discerning collector's portfolio.
