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 one of the finest examples of this popular fractional gold issue. Struck at the West Point Mint and bearing the signature of Ed Moy, the 14th Director of the United States Mint, this quarter-ounce gold proof showcases the classic heraldic eagle reverse design that has made American Gold Eagles among the world's most sought-after bullion coins. The coin has achieved a perfect NGC PF70 grade, indicating flawless eye appeal with no visible imperfections under magnification. The obverse features John Merkanti's iconic Liberty design, while the reverse displays the heraldic eagle—both rendered with exceptional clarity and detail characteristic of West Point's superior proof coinage. The deep cameo contrast between the frosted design elements and mirrored fields demonstrates the quality of the striking process. As a modern proof issue from a limited mintage year, this piece appeals to both gold bullion investors and collectors of United States Mint commemorative coinage. The Ed Moy signature adds numismatic significance, as these special director's editions are increasingly recognized by the collecting community. NGC Certificate Number: 621291
