Description
1987-W Proof Gold Eagle, 1 oz, NGC PF70. This exceptional 1987-W Proof American Gold Eagle represents one of the finest examples of this classic bullion coin issue. Struck at the West Point Mint during the early years of the American Eagle program, this one-ounce gold piece exhibits the full mirror fields and frosted devices characteristic of U.S. Mint proof coinage. The coin displays the iconic Augustus Saint-Gaudens obverse design featuring Lady Liberty in full stride, paired with the heraldic eagle reverse designed by Miley Busiek. Graded NGC PF70 and encapsulated under certificate number 9815, this specimen achieves a perfect proof grade, indicating flawless surfaces with no visible imperfections under magnification. The pristine condition of this early-date proof eagle makes it particularly desirable to both gold investors and numismatic collectors seeking premium quality examples from this foundational period of the modern American Eagle program. Starting Bid: $4,850
