Description

2016-W Proof Gold Eagle 1/4 oz, NGC PF70. This exceptional 2016-W Proof Gold Eagle represents the finest quality from West Point's acclaimed precious metals program. The 1/4 ounce denomination, composed of .9167 fine gold, showcases the iconic eagle design that has made this series a cornerstone of American numismatic collecting since its 1986 inception. Certified by NGC as PF70, this coin achieves the highest grade assigned by the service, indicating perfect strike and handling characteristics. The West Point mint mark denotes production at the United States Mint at West Point, New York. The proof finish displays brilliant, deeply mirrored fields contrasting sharply with the frosted design elements, a hallmark of modern American Mint proof coinage. The obverse features John Mercanti's rendition of Lady Liberty, while the reverse displays the majestic heraldic eagle design by Michael Landry. With certificate number 570536, this specimen represents an outstanding example of modern American gold coinage at its absolute finest. Proof Gold Eagles remain highly sought by collectors and investors alike, particularly those achieving perfect grades. This coin would serve as an excellent addition to any serious collector's portfolio of modern U.S. precious metals.
