Description
2017-W Proof Gold Eagle 1/4 oz, Ed Moy Signature Label, NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo. This exceptional 2017-W Proof Gold Eagle represents one of the finest examples of this modern classic. Struck at the West Point Mint and certified by NGC at the coveted PF70 Ultra Cameo grade, this quarter-ounce gold proof displays the characteristic mirror fields and deeply frosted devices that define the highest quality proof coinage. The Ed Moy signature label designation indicates this coin was graded during the tenure of former U.S. Mint Director Ed Moy, adding historical context to this premium specimen. The obverse features John Mercanti's iconic eagle design, while the reverse showcases the heraldic eagle with shield—designs that have made the American Eagle series one of the most collected U.S. bullion coins. At the PF70 grade, this example exhibits no visible imperfections under magnification and represents the absolute peak of the proof minting process. The Ultra Cameo designation confirms the dramatic contrast between the reflective fields and frosted design elements. Modern proof gold eagles remain popular with both precious metals investors and numismatic collectors, particularly high-grade examples such as this. NGC Certificate #621291.
