Description
2001-W Proof Gold Eagle 1/4 oz, PCGS PR70. This exceptional 2001-W Proof Gold Eagle represents the finest quality achievable for this modern American bullion issue. Struck at the West Point Mint and graded PCGS PR70, this coin exhibits the sharp striking detail and flawless surfaces characteristic of the highest-quality proof coins. The 1/4 ounce Gold Eagle remains one of the most popular fractional-weight precious metal coins produced by the United States Mint. The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens' iconic Lady Liberty design, while the reverse displays an eagle and shield motif. As a proof coin, this example was produced using specially prepared dies and polished blanks, resulting in the distinctive mirror fields and frosted design elements that define the proof finish. The PR70 designation indicates a coin of perfect or near-perfect quality, with no visible imperfections under magnification. Early 2000s proof Gold Eagles, particularly in this grade, remain highly sought by collectors and investors alike. PCGS Certificate Number 99956.
