2004-W Proof Gold Eagle 1/4 oz Red Book

Description

2004-W Proof Gold Eagle, 1/4 oz, NGC PF70. This exceptional 2004-W Proof Gold Eagle represents the finest quality from West Point's prestigious proof gold coinage program. The coin exhibits the characteristic mirror fields and frosted devices that define the proof finish, with this example achieving a perfect NGC PF70 grade—the highest numerical designation on the Sheldon scale. The 1/4 ounce denomination contains .9167 fine gold, featuring Augustus Saint-Gaudens' iconic Liberty design on the obverse and an eagle with olive branch on the reverse. As a West Point-minted proof (indicated by the W mintmark), this issue was produced in limited quantities for collectors, making quality examples increasingly sought-after. The PF70 designation indicates virtually perfect strike quality with no visible imperfections under magnification. NGC Certification Number: 99972. This coin represents an outstanding example for the advanced gold eagle collector or investor seeking premium quality from the early 2000s proof production era.
