2017-W Proof Gold Eagle 1/4 oz Red Book

Description

2017-W Proof Gold Eagle, 1/4 oz, NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo. This exceptional 2017-W Proof Gold Eagle represents one of the finest examples of this modern classic bullion issue. The coin features the iconic eagle reverse design by Miley Busiek, showcasing a soaring eagle with shield and olive branch, paired with Augustus Saint-Gaudens' celebrated Lady Liberty obverse. Struck at the West Point Mint, as denoted by the W mintmark, this quarter-ounce gold proof contains .9167 fine gold with a face value of $10. Certified by NGC as PF70 Ultra Cameo (Certificate #621291), this coin represents the highest grade achievable by the grading service. The designation indicates exceptional eye appeal, with deeply mirrored proof fields contrasting sharply against frosted design elements—the hallmark of premium proof coinage. The Ultra Cameo designation is particularly notable, as it requires an especially pronounced contrast between the fields and devices. The 2017-W Proof Gold Eagle remains a popular choice among precious metals collectors and investors seeking U.S. Mint quality in a compact format. This outstanding specimen, having achieved a perfect technical grade, would serve as a centerpiece for any advanced gold eagle collection or as a significant addition to a proof set.
