Description
# 2020-W Proof Gold Eagle 1/4 oz First Release John Mercanti Signed. A stunning example of modern American numismatic artistry, this 2020-W Proof Gold American Eagle represents a pinnacle of collectible gold coinage. Struck at the West Point Mint and certified by NGC as a perfect Proof 70, this quarter-ounce gold coin features the distinguished provenance of being a First Release (FR) example personally signed by John Mercanti, the legendary former Chief Engraver of the United States Mint. The coin showcases the iconic Augustus Saint-Gaudens Liberty design on the obverse, featuring a magnificent striding Liberty with torch and olive branch, while the reverse displays the heraldic American eagle in impeccable proof finish. Mercanti's signature adds significant numismatic value, as he is widely considered the most prolific mint engraver in U.S. history, having designed the reverse of the American Silver Eagle - one of the most widely collected modern coins. Graded NGC PF 70. First Release Designation. Mercanti Signed. 1/4 oz .9999 Fine Gold. NGC Certificate: 6012956026.
