Description
2023-W Proof Gold Eagle 1/4 oz FDI Mike Castle. This exceptional NGC PF70 specimen represents a premium example of the modern American Gold Eagle proof series. The 2023-W quarter-ounce gold eagle, struck at the West Point Mint, showcases the iconic reverse design by Miley Miller and obverse imagery that has defined this beloved series since its inception. The "FDI" designation indicates this coin was among the first day of issue offerings, a significant marker for contemporary collectors seeking early releases. Graded Perfect 70 by Numismatic Guaranty Company, this coin exhibits the flawless presentation expected of the finest proof strikes. The designation reflects exceptional eye appeal, with mirror fields and deeply frosted design elements characteristic of West Point's superior proof production standards. The Mike Castle provenance notation adds historical context to this piece, connecting it to notable numismatic circles. At one-quarter troy ounce of pure gold, this coin combines bullion value with collectible premium appeal. Modern proof gold eagles in this condition and early-release status command strong collector interest, particularly among those building comprehensive sets of recent American precious metals coinage. NGC Certification Number: 919572
