Description
2000-W Proof Gold Eagle 1/4 oz, PCGS PR70. This exceptional 2000-W Proof Gold Eagle represents one of the finest examples of this popular modern gold bullion issue. The West Point Mint production is indicated by the "W" mintmark, making this a sought-after variant among collectors of American Gold Eagles. Struck to proof specifications, this coin exhibits the superior finish and sharp detail that characterize proof coinage, with deeply mirrored fields contrasting against frosted design elements. Graded PCGS PR70, this coin has achieved a perfect proof grade, indicating flawless surfaces with no visible imperfections under magnification. The 1/4 ounce denomination contains .2419 troy ounces of pure gold, making it an attractive option for both collectors and investors seeking fractional gold pieces. The reverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens' iconic eagle design, while the obverse displays Lady Liberty—timeless imagery that has made the Gold Eagle series one of the most recognizable and collected American coins. The 2000 proof date represents coins struck during a period of strong collector demand for modern proof gold issues. This coin's perfect grade and West Point mintmark make it a desirable addition to any Gold Eagle collection. PCGS Certification Number: 99951
