Description

2002-W Proof Gold Eagle 1/4 oz Blue Label. This exceptional PCGS PR70 specimen represents the finest quality achievable for this modern gold issue. The 2002-W Proof Gold Eagle 1/4 ounce is struck in .9167 fine gold, containing exactly 1/4 troy ounce of pure gold.

The PR70 designation indicates this coin exhibits no visible imperfections under magnification and represents a perfect example of the issue. The blue label designation from PCGS further authenticates this as a premium, early-generation certified example. The obverse features John Merkle's iconic design of Lady Liberty in profile, while the reverse displays the heraldic American eagle as designed by Michael Gaudioso. Modern proof gold eagles remain popular with both bullion investors and numismatic collectors, combining precious metal content with the prestige of official U.S. Mint coinage. This flawless example would serve as an excellent addition to any advanced collector's holdings or investment portfolio.
