1996-W 1/2 oz Proof American Gold Eagle PR-70 PCGS (Reagan)
Struck at the West Point Mint in 1996, this twenty-five dollar gold coin represents a stunning marriage of classic and modern American numismatic art. Containing exactly one-half troy ounce of gold, the coin is composed of 0.9167 fine gold. This specific piece has achieved the highest possible grade of Proof 70 Deep Cameo, indicating an absolutely flawless strike with intense contrast between the frosted details and mirror-like fields. The obverse side presents a celebrated design adapted from the famous 1907 Gold Double Eagle. It features a powerful depiction of Lady Liberty walking forward, bathed in the rays of a rising sun. On the reverse, the coin displays a detailed family scene of America's national bird, showing a male bald eagle in mid-flight carrying an olive branch back to a nest that holds a female eagle and their young. The West Point origin is proudly displayed on the coin with the 'W' mint mark.
