Description

2018-W Proof Platinum Eagle, 1 oz, First Day of Issue, Ed Moy Signature, PCGS PR70. This exceptional 2018-W Proof Platinum Eagle represents one of the finest examples of America's premier platinum bullion coin program. Struck at the West Point Mint and certified by PCGS as a perfect PR70, this coin exemplifies the exacting standards applied to proof platinum eagles. The reverse features John Mercanti's iconic design of an eagle in flight, while the obverse displays Liberty in profile, both rendered with the mirror fields and frosted devices characteristic of proof coinage. The First Day of Issue designation and Ed Moy signature add significant numismatic appeal to this offering. Ed Moy served as the 38th Director of the United States Mint, and his tenure oversaw notable developments in the American Precious Metals program. The FDI designation confirms this coin was among the first released to the public, making it particularly desirable to date-sensitive collectors. Achieving a perfect PCGS PR70 grade is a remarkable accomplishment for any modern proof coin, reflecting flawless strike quality, pristine surfaces, and exceptional eye appeal. The platinum content—one full troy ounce of .9995 fine platinum—combined with the numismatic premium associated with this grade, makes this an outstanding addition to any platinum or modern proof collection.
