Description

# 1998-W Proof Platinum Eagle 1/4 oz PCGS PR70 DCAM. A pristine exemplar of the American Platinum Eagle series, this 1998-W Proof Quarter-Ounce Platinum Eagle represents the pinnacle of numismatic excellence. Struck at the West Point Mint under the artistic direction of John M. Mercanti, this coin showcases the iconic Statue of Liberty design with extraordinary precision and visual impact. Graded a flawless PCGS PR70 Deep Cameo, this specimen is among the finest known of its type, with only 309 examples achieving this elite certification. The coin's 99.95% platinum composition and 7.78g weight make it a pinnacle of modern precious metal coinage. With a limited mintage of just 14,873 pieces, this proof presents a remarkable opportunity for the discerning platinum collector. The Deep Cameo (DCAM) designation indicates an exceptional strike with profound contrast between the mirrored fields and frosted devices, creating a stunning visual presentation. The West Point Mint mark (*W*) further enhances its collectibility, representing a key year in the American Platinum Eagle series. Perfectly preserved and encapsulated by PCGS with certificate #36061986, this coin represents the absolute zenith of numismatic quality and preservation.
