2017-W Proof Gold Eagle 1/4 oz Ed Moy

Description

2017-W Proof Gold Eagle, 1/4 Ounce, Ed Moy Signature, NGC PF70. This exceptional 2017-W Proof Gold Eagle represents a significant offering for collectors of modern U.S. bullion coinage. Struck at the West Point Mint and bearing the signature of former U.S. Mint Director Ed Moy, this quarter-ounce gold proof displays the hallmark qualities collectors expect from premium U.S. Mint production. The coin has achieved a perfect NGC PF70 grade, indicating flawless surfaces with exceptional eye appeal and strike quality. The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens' iconic Liberty design, while the reverse displays the heraldic eagle—both rendered with the crisp detail and mirror fields characteristic of proof coinage. At one-quarter troy ounce of .9167 fine gold, this piece combines intrinsic precious metal value with numismatic desirability. The Ed Moy signature variant adds historical significance, as Moy's tenure as Director (2006-2011) was marked by notable innovations in U.S. Mint coinage programs. Perfect grade examples of modern proof gold eagles remain highly sought by both bullion investors and serious collectors, particularly when accompanied by the prestige of West Point production and NGC's highest certification.
