Struck at the West Point Mint and certified by PCGS as a perfect PR70, this coin exhibits the flawless surfaces and sharp strike definition that characterize the highest echelon of modern proof coinage. The 1/4 oz Gold Eagle series, introduced in 1986, has become a cornerstone of American precious metals coinage. This 1/4 oz issue contains exactly .2419 troy ounces of pure gold and 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. The proof finish showcases brilliant, mirror-like fields contrasting with frosted design elements, demonstrating West Point's superior minting standards. A PR70 designation indicates this coin has achieved perfect eye appeal with no visible imperfections under magnification—a remarkable accomplishment for a coin now over two decades old. This specimen represents an outstanding example for the serious collector of modern proof gold issues and bullion-related collectibles. PCGS Certificate #99966
