2004-W Proof Gold Eagle 1/4 oz Red Book

Description

2004-W Proof Gold Eagle 1/4 oz, NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo. This exceptional example represents the pinnacle of American gold coinage craftsmanship. The 2004-W Proof Gold Eagle in the quarter-ounce denomination showcases the iconic reverse design by Miley Busiek featuring an eagle landing on a nest with an olive branch, while the obverse displays Liberty in profile as designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Struck at the West Point Mint facility, this piece exemplifies the precision and quality control that characterizes the modern Proof Gold Eagle series. Certified by NGC as PF70 Ultra Cameo, this coin represents the highest achievable grade, with pristine surfaces and exceptional contrast between the deeply mirrored fields and frosted design elements. The Ultra Cameo designation indicates particularly strong cameo effect, a hallmark of superior West Point Mint production. The 1/4 oz denomination contains exactly one-quarter troy ounce of pure gold (.9999 fine), making it both a significant bullion asset and a numismatic treasure. The 2004 date falls within the early years of the modern Proof Gold Eagle program's expansion, and examples achieving this premium grade represent the finest of their issue. This coin would be an outstanding addition to any advanced gold collection or proof set.
