2018-W Proof Gold Eagle, 1/4 oz, First Day of Issue, Flag Label

This exceptional 2018-W Proof Gold Eagle represents one of the finest examples of this modern bullion proof issue. Struck at the West Point Mint and graded PCGS PR70, this 1/4 ounce gold piece exhibits the flawless surfaces and sharp strike details that characterize the highest grade achievable for proof coins. The designation of First Day of Issue (FDI) with the distinctive flag label indicates this coin was among the first released to the market, adding an extra layer of appeal to serious collectors of modern gold issues.

The 1/4 ounce American Gold Eagle proof series remains highly sought after by both precious metals investors and numismatic collectors. The West Point Mint proof production is typically limited, making these coins more elusive than their bullion counterparts. At the perfect PR70 grade, this example displays no imperfections visible under magnification, representing the ultimate in proof striking quality and preservation.

Housed in a PCGS holder with certificate number 671068, this First Day of Issue specimen combines the prestige of perfect grading, the collectibility of proof status, and the tangible value of .9167 fine gold content. An outstanding acquisition for the advanced collector of modern American gold coinage.
