1995-W Proof Gold Eagle 1/4 oz Red Book

Description

1995-W Proof Gold Eagle, 1/4 oz, NGC PF70. This exceptional 1995-W Proof Gold Eagle represents one of the finest examples of this classic American bullion coin. Struck at the West Point Mint, this quarter-ounce gold piece showcases the iconic design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens on the obverse and Miley Busiek's heraldic eagle reverse that has defined the American Eagle program since its inception in 1986. The coin has achieved a perfect NGC PF70 grade, indicating flawless surfaces with exceptional eye appeal. The proof finish displays brilliant, deeply mirrored fields contrasting beautifully with frosted design elements—hallmarks of West Point's premium proof coinage. This pristine condition is particularly noteworthy for the 1995-W issue, as achieving gem proof status requires careful handling and storage throughout the decades since its original release. The 1/4 oz denomination makes this piece an attractive option for collectors seeking fractional gold content in a recognized, government-backed format. As a proof issue from the mid-1990s, this coin appeals to both precious metals investors and numismatists building comprehensive American Eagle collections. The NGC certification (Certificate #9891) provides authentication and grade assurance for this desirable piece.
