Description
2016-W Proof Gold Eagle 1 oz, FS Ed Moy, PCGS PR70. This exceptional 2016-W American Eagle Gold Proof represents the pinnacle of U.S. Mint gold coinage artistry. Struck at the West Point facility and graded PCGS PR70, this coin achieves the highest possible proof grade, indicating flawless surfaces with exceptional eye appeal and perfect strike characteristics. The coin features the iconic design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens on the obverse, depicting Lady Liberty in full stride, paired with Miley Busiek's reverse eagle design. As a one-ounce gold proof, this piece contains one full troy ounce of .9167 fine gold and represents the official U.S. government issue in this prestigious series. The designation "FS Ed Moy" refers to the First Strike certification combined with Ed Moy's tenure as Director of the U.S. Mint, adding historical significance to this already desirable piece. A PR70 rating at this grade level is extraordinarily difficult to achieve, reflecting superior luster, perfect striking, and pristine handling throughout the minting and certification process.
