1996 Gold Eagle 1/4 oz Brown Label

Description

1996 Gold Eagle 1/4 oz Brown Label NGC MS70. This exceptional 1996 American Gold Eagle quarter-ounce represents the pinnacle of quality for this popular bullion and collectible series. The coin contains 1/4 troy ounce of .9167 fine gold and features Augustus Saint-Gaudens' iconic obverse design with Lady Liberty striding confidently across the landscape, paired with the reverse depicting a family of eagles designed by Miley Busiek. Graded NGC MS70 by Numismatic Guaranty Company, this specimen achieves the highest numerical grade possible, indicating flawless condition with exceptional luster and strike quality. The brown label designation reflects the vintage grading holder from NGC's earlier certification period, adding to its collectible appeal for holders of encapsulated rarities. The certificate number 9904 provides full authentication and provenance documentation. The 1996 date is highly sought by both precious metals investors and numismatic collectors, as quarter-ounce Gold Eagles from the mid-1990s remain relatively scarce in certified gem condition. An MS70 example represents the finest known quality for this specific issue, making it an outstanding addition to any advanced Gold Eagle collection or investment portfolio.
