Description

1996-W Proof Gold Eagle, 1/2 oz, Brown Label, NGC PF70. This exceptional 1996-W Proof Gold Eagle represents one of the finest examples of this classic modern bullion issue. Struck at the West Point Mint, this half-ounce gold proof contains one-half troy ounce of .9167 fine gold and displays the iconic reverse design by Miley Busiek featuring an eagle in flight, paired with Augustus Saint-Gaudens' celebrated Liberty obverse. The NGC PF70 grade reflects perfect strike quality and pristine eye appeal, representing the highest standard of preservation. The brown label designation indicates this coin's vintage pedigree from NGC's earlier certification era. The 1996-W proof half-ounce represents a key date in the American Gold Eagle proof series, making it highly sought after by both proof set collectors and gold specialists. This premium example would serve as an excellent addition to any advanced American gold proof collection.
