# 1998-W Proof Gold Eagle 1 oz John Mercanti. A stunning Proof Gold Eagle from the legendary West Point Mint, featuring the iconic design by renowned Chief Engraver John Mercanti. This exceptional 1998-W Proof Gold Eagle represents the pinnacle of modern American numismatic artistry, graded a flawless PCGS Proof 70 Deep Cameo. With an incredibly low mintage of just 25,886 pieces, this coin is a true numismatic treasure. The *Deep Cameo* designation highlights the coin's exceptional strike and mirror-like fields, creating a dramatic contrast between the frosted devices and reflective background.
