Struck at the West Point Mint, this quarter-ounce gold proof contains .9167 fine gold and showcases the iconic reverse design by Miley Busiek featuring an eagle landing on a branch with an olive leaf, complemented by the obverse portrait of Lady Liberty by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. The coin has achieved a perfect PCGS PR70 grade, indicating flawless surfaces with no visible imperfections under magnification. This pristine condition is exceptionally difficult to achieve in modern proof coinage and represents the finest possible quality for this issue. The proof finish exhibits characteristic mirror fields and frosted devices that exemplify the exacting standards of U.S. Mint production. As a West Point Mint issue from 2008, this proof eagle demonstrates the continued excellence of American precious metals coinage during that era. The combination of perfect grading, the prestigious West Point pedigree, and the enduring appeal of the Gold Eagle series makes this an outstanding example for both collectors and investors seeking premium quality modern gold pieces.
