Description

# 2002-W Proof Platinum Eagle 1/4 oz PCGS PR70 DCAM. A stunning example of the American Platinum Eagle from the highly collectible West Point Mint, this 2002-W Proof quarter-ounce platinum coin represents the pinnacle of modern numismatic artistry and precision. Designed by the renowned John M. Mercanti, Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, this piece features the iconic Statue of Liberty motif with extraordinary detail and exceptional strike quality. Graded a perfect PCGS PR70 Deep Cameo, this coin represents the absolute pinnacle of preservation and technical excellence. With a remarkably low total population of just 487 coins, this specimen is a true rarity in the world of modern platinum proof coinage. The Deep Cameo (DCAM) designation highlights the coin's exceptional contrast between frosted devices and mirror-like fields, creating a stunning visual presentation that is highly prized by sophisticated collectors. Struck at the West Point Mint with 99.95% pure platinum, this 7.78-gram coin embodies the pinnacle of American numismatic craftsmanship. The limited mintage of only 9,282 pieces further enhances its collectibility and potential investment value. Its reeded edge and precise 22mm diameter showcase the meticulous standards of the United States Mint's precious metal proof program. A museum-quality gem that represents the absolute best of modern American platinum coinage, this lot offers collectors an opportunity to acquire a near-impossible-to-improve specimen of this highly sought-after series. With its perfect grade, exceptional eye appeal, and remarkable rarity, this 2002-W Platinum Eagle is a true numismatic treasure.
