Description

2016-W Proof Gold Eagle, 1/4 Ounce, Ed Moy Signature, NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo. This exceptional 2016-W Proof Gold Eagle represents one of the finest examples of America's premier gold bullion coin program. Struck at the West Point Mint and bearing the signature of Ed Moy, who served as Director of the United States Mint during a significant period of the program's evolution, this quarter-ounce gold proof displays the hallmark qualities collectors seek in modern U.S. Mint gold issues. The coin has achieved a perfect NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo designation (Certificate #570536), indicating exceptional strike quality with deeply mirrored fields contrasting sharply against the frosted design elements. The reverse features John Mercanti's iconic eagle design, while the obverse showcases Augustus Saint-Gaudens' timeless Lady Liberty. At one-quarter ounce of .9167 fine gold, this piece combines bullion value with numismatic appeal. Proof Gold Eagles from the 2010s represent a period of strong collector interest in U.S. Mint precious metals offerings. The West Point Mint's production of proof coins during this era has become increasingly sought after by both gold investors and serious numismatists. This certified example in top condition represents an excellent addition to any collection of modern U.S. gold coinage.
