Description

2017-W Proof Gold Eagle, 1/4 oz, Ed Moy Signature, NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo. This exceptional 2017-W Proof Gold Eagle represents one of the most sought-after modern gold coins in the U.S. Mint's prestigious American Eagle program. Struck at the West Point Mint and bearing the signature of Ed Moy, the 14th Director of the U.S. Mint, this quarter-ounce gold proof showcases the iconic design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens on the obverse and Miley Busiek's heraldic eagle reverse that has graced the series since 1986. The coin has been certified by NGC as PF70 Ultra Cameo (Certificate #621291), representing the highest achievable grade. This designation confirms exceptional strike quality with razor-sharp details, pristine surfaces, and the distinctive deep mirror fields contrasted with frosted design elements characteristic of Ultra Cameo designations. The 1/4 oz denomination contains approximately 0.2419 troy ounces of .9167 fine gold, making it an attractive option for both collectors and investors seeking fractional gold bullion with numismatic appeal. West Point Proof Eagles from this era remain highly desirable among serious collectors, particularly when combined with the prestigious Ed Moy signature and perfect grading. The combination of mint quality, certification pedigree, and collector demand makes this an outstanding example for discerning bidders.
