Description
# 2001-W Proof Gold Eagle 1/4 oz | NGC PF70 | John Mercanti Signature. An exceptional modern proof Gold Eagle featuring the renowned artistry of John Mercanti, the Chief Engraver of the United States Mint from 2006 to 2010. This 1/4 oz Gold American Eagle represents the pinnacle of numismatic striking quality, graded a flawless Perfect Proof 70 by NGC.
