1991-P Proof Gold Eagle 1/4 oz Philip Diehl

Description

1991-P Proof Gold Eagle 1/4 Ounce, PCGS PR70 DCAM. This exceptional 1991-P Proof Gold Eagle represents the pinnacle of American precious metals coinage from the early 1990s. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint with a mintage of just 50,839 pieces, this quarter-ounce gold eagle features the iconic obverse design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens and reverse design by Miley Busiek. The coin is composed of 91.67% gold, 3% silver, and 5.33% copper, with a total weight of 8.48 grams and diameter of 22mm. Certified by PCGS as PR70 DCAM (Deep Cameo), this example represents the finest quality available for this date and mint. The DCAM designation indicates exceptional contrast between deeply frosted devices and mirror fields—the hallmark of premium proof production. The perfect Sheldon grade of 70 confirms flawless surfaces and strike quality, making this among the most desirable examples of the issue. With a population of 1,261 pieces graded across all grades, PR70 DCAM examples are notably scarce. This specimen's combination of technical perfection, eye appeal, and the desirable Deep Cameo designation makes it an excellent addition to any advanced gold eagle collection or precious metals portfolio.
